-a prime meridian is a ‘meridian’ (aka “a line of longitude”) in a ‘geographical coordinate system’ at which ‘longitude’ is defined to be 0°-

.

(together, a ‘prime meridian’ and its ‘antimeridian’ (the 180th meridian in a 360°-system) form a ‘great circle’)

.

*this ‘great circle’ divides the ‘sphere’ – [EG the ‘earth’] – into 2 ‘hemi-spheres’*

.

*if one uses directions of [‘east’ / ‘west’] from a defined ‘prime meridian’, then they can be called [‘eastern hemisphere’ / ‘western hemisphere’]*
