See the fact file below for more information on the prime meridian:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into East\/West from the North Pole to the South Pole with an imaginary line along the longitude line of 0\u00b0.<\/li>\n<li>The Antimeridian, at 180\u00b0 longitude, connects with the Prime Meridian to form a 3D giant circle all around the Globe, dividing it into Eastern and Western hemispheres.<\/li>\n<li>The first person to consistently use the notion of longitude and meridian was the Greek geographer Ptolemy.<\/li>\n<li>Ptolemy originally used the time of the lunar eclipse in different places to work out where the meridian line was. Ptolemy\u2019s prime meridian was about 20\u00b0W of where it is today.<\/li>\n<li>Between the 1400s and 1800s many geographers and navigators (including Christopher Columbus) tried to use different methods to establish longitude whilst at sea.<\/li>\n<li>Between 1765 and 1811, the Greenwich Royal Observatory meridian in London was frequently used as the universal reference point.<\/li>\n<li>In 1884 the Greenwich meridian became the recognized prime meridian for the whole world. It\u2019s also the meridian that was used to set the time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sumber: <a href=\"https:\/\/kidskonnect.com\/science\/prime-meridian\/\">https:\/\/kidskonnect.com\/science\/prime-meridian\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why The Prime Meridian Isn&#8217;t At 0\u00ba Prime Meridian Facts &amp; Information A meridian is an imaginary line around the Globe that connects points of equal longitude (a coordinate that specifies the east\/west position of a location on the Earth\u2019s surface).
