The Prime Meridian runs through the London Borough of Greenwich, meaning it has a longitude of zero degrees. London is approx 51.5° north of the equator.
In summary: 51°32'N, 0°W
51, 32 N, 0, 5 W
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
longitude
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.

There are an infinite number of possible lines of latitude, and there are an infinite number of possible lines of longitude. Every possible latitude line intersects every possible longitude line, and every possible longitude line intersects every possible latitude line. Every one of the infinite number of points on Earth is the intersection of one of each, and there is no particular name for it.

Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.

Latitude and longitude
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
