Question

Why is the eastern pacific ocean in the west of prime meridian?

Answer 1

For longitudes, countries were fighting to keep the prime Meridian in their area. Now Britain kept forward its arguments in favor of Greenwich as the prime Meridian. She said, Greenwich Meridian is roughly 180 degrees opposite of the Pacific ocean.

Answer 2

The 180th meridian or antimeridian[1] is the meridian 180° both east and west of the Prime Meridian, with which it forms a great circle dividing the earth into the Western and Eastern Hemispheres. It is common to both east longitude and west longitude. It mostly passes through the open waters of the Pacific Ocean, but passes across land in Russia, Fiji and Antarctica. This meridian is used as the basis for the International Date Line, but the latter deviates from it to maintain date consistency within the territories of Russia, the United States, Kiribati, Fiji and New Zealand.
