*aka ‘anti-meridian’*
.
-the 180th meridian is the meridian 180° east or west of the “prime meridian”, with which it forms a ‘great circle’ dividing the ‘earth’ into the ‘western’/’eastern’ hemispheres-
.
(it is common to both ‘east longitude’ and ‘west longitude’)
.
(it is used as the basis for the “international date line” because it mostly passes through the open waters of the “pacific ocean”)
.
(however, the meridian passes through ‘russia’ and ‘fiji’ as well as ‘antarctica’)
