The Prime Meridian, which is at longitude ZERO degrees, and the International Date Line. The International Date Line is supposed to be at longitude 180 degrees, but it varies quite a distance for political reasons.

The southern most point in the continental United States is Ballast Key, Florida at about 24 degrees north latitude. The southernmost point that is under United States jurisdiction is the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica which is at 90 degrees South latitude.
The center of Lawrence, KS is at 38.9717 degrees north and 95.2353 degrees west. It is also the home of Kansas University.
That point is very near Marigot Harbour at Castries, on Saint Lucia.

Between the north pole and the equator, the 140 East meridian crosses territory in Russia and Japan. South of the equator, the same meridian crosses, Indonesia, Australia, and Antarctica.
The meridian of 60 degrees west longitude crosses parts of North America, South America, and Antarctica.
The Loire River!!!
The meridian of 90 degrees west longitude crosses territory in North America and the Antarctica continent. No point in the Philippines is anywhere near it.
The 60th meridian west traverses the following: Greenland Canada Barbados (territorial waters) Guyana Brazil Paraguay Argentina Falkland Islands Antarctica
"22 degrees west" is the description of a meridian of longitude that connects the north and south poles. The only land it crosses comprises parts of Greenland, Iceland, and Antarctica.
A meridian describes an arc connecting the north and south poles (a single line of longitude). As such, a meridian will be 180 degrees.
AM = "Ante - Meridian"PM = "Post - Meridian""Ante" and "post" mean "before" and "after"."Meridian" is the imaginary line in the sky that runs north/south and passes directly over you.In the morning, the sun moves from the eastern horizon toward the meridian. At Noon, the sun crosses the meridian. In the afternoon, the sun has crossed the meridian and moves away from it toward the west.Morning is the time before the sun crosses the meridian = Ante-Meridian = AM.Afternoon and evening is the time after the sun crosses the meridian = Post-Meridian = PM.
70 degrees north latitude . . . crosses parts of North America, Europe, and Asia.70 degrees south latitude . . . crosses parts of Antarctica.
They are also called Lines of LongitudeThey measure the angles east or west of the prime meridianThey run from the North Pole to the South PoleEvery meridian of longitude is the same length -- 1/2 of the Earth's polar circumference, roughly 12,410 miles.All meridians of longitude meet at the north pole and at the south pole.Every meridian of longitude crosses some part of Antarctica.The key meridians are the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees and the 180th meridian (or anti-meridian) which is at 180 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.The 'anti-meridian' is at both -180 degrees and +180 degrees on the map which is the same imaginary line where the east and west hemispheres meet. It joins the north and south poles, and runs through the Pacific Ocean.
The two continents located at longitude 140 degrees west are North America and Oceania.
