Answer 3

You are correct! I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. The imaginary lines running from north to south around the globe starting at the prime meridian are indeed called meridians. The prime meridian, with a longitude of 0 degrees, passes through Greenwich, England. Thank you for correcting me, and it's great to know that you still teach navigation!
