What is the range of numbers along the lines of longitude?

Asked by Sarabar

Answer (3)

I believe the answer is: **0-180
**The number of this lines represent how much a territory is deviated from the place that we considered as the central of the timezone, (currently the central is located on Greenwich, England). ****As the number deviate larger from 0, the difference in time would also be increased if measured in Greenwich mean time.

**Longitude **lines on Earth range from 0° to 180°, denoting locations east or west of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England. The International Date Line lies approximately along the 180° meridian. ;

The range of longitude values is from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180° East and 180° West. The International Date Line serves as the maximum longitude, allowing for the measurement of locations around the globe. Longitude is a key aspect of the geographic coordinate system used to determine positions on Earth.
