Answer:

The line in Greenwich represents the historic Prime Meridian of the World - Longitude 0º. Every place on Earth was measured in terms of its distance east or west from this line. The line itself divided the eastern and western hemispheres of the Earth - just as the Equator divides the northern and southern hemispheres.

On its path from pole to pole, the Meridian passes through England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, Ghana and Antarctica.

While around 98% of the clocks in Britain were set to Greenwich mean time by 1855, it was not made the law until 25 years later. A single time zone setting the baseline for the rest of the world was first proposed in 1876 when the engineer and inventor Sandford Fleming called for a global 24-hour clock.
