Answer:
Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian .
Meridian is at 0°
Zero degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian, as it is the line from which other meridians are calculated.
★Bonus answer: Another name for lines of latitude is “parallels,” so called because lines of latitude run parallel to each other (lines of longitude do not.)
