Answer: The Prime Meridian passes through the British Royal Observatory in Greenwich near London. Its value is 0° longitude and from it we count 180° eastward as well as 180° westward. The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into two equal halves: the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.Time on 0° longitude is called G.M.T. this is standard time of earth . Earth rotates from west to east so that sun arises from east and sunlight takes 4 minutes to cross one degree longitude means 360×4=1440 minutes or 24 hour .
