The 180th meridian or antimeridian is the meridian which is 180° east or west of the Prime Meridian ... It is common to both east longitude and west longitude.
It runs through the Pacific Ocean, and was the nominal guideline for the position of the International Dateline, although the dateline itself had to depart from the antimeridian in several places.

How many degrees are there in a hemisphere?
hemispheres and deg (degrees) are not compatible. solid angles are measured in steradians of spheres 2pi steradians or 0.5 spheres in a hemisphere In cartography, a hemisphere would encompass 180 degrees of longitude.
What are the total number of meridians at an interval of 5 degree?
There is no fixed set of meridians. A meridian is just an imaginary line that takesshape when you choose any longitude and mark a little dot at every point onEarth with that same longitude.If you were to begin at any longitude, travel straight east or west all the wayaround the Earth until you arrived back at your starting point, and make a markin your notebook every time you cover an interval of 5 degrees of longitude, thenyou would wind up with 360/5 = 72 marks in your notebook.
How many hours is 1246.0 miles?
Hours are not units of distance measurement. Minutes and seconds are, but it depends on where it is measured. If measuring degrees of longitude along the equator, each degree is about 60 miles, so one minute (1/60th degree) would be 1 mile. Degrees of longitude differ along different lines of latitude (different Earth's circumference). Degrees of latitude, however, are a constant distance (about 69 miles).
