$\huge{\boxed{\boxed{\red{\ulcorner{\mid{\overline{\underline{\bf{Longitude}}}}}\mid}}}}$

Explanation:

On the globe, lines of constant longitude ('meridians')extend from pole to pole.

Every meridian must cross the equator. Since the equatoris a circle, we can divide it-like any circle-into 360 degrees,and the longitude of a point is then the marked value of that division where its meridian meets the equator.

For historical reasons, the longitude (meridian)passing Royal Astronomical Observatory in Greenwich,and, is the one chosen as zero longitude. Located at the edge of London, the British capital, the observatory Public museum and a brass band stretching across its yard marks the prime meridian.
