Meridians (or lines of longitude) are imaginary semicircles running north-to-south, connecting the North Pole to the South Pole.
To calculate meridian longitude, you need to determine the angle between a point on the Earth's surface and the prime meridian. This can be done using the following steps:
Developing a paper on meridian longitude involves exploring the invisible vertical lines that connect the North and South Poles to determine east-west positions on Earth. Unlike latitude, which has a natural starting point at the Equator, longitude is based on an arbitrary Prime Meridian (0° longitude). National Geographic Society 1. Core Concepts for Your Paper
