Longitude

Longitude is the angular distance of a specific location on Earth, measured east or west from the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as a reference point from which longitude lines are measured. Longitude lines extend from 180 degrees west to 180 degrees east, forming a complete circle around the Earth.

Longitude plays a crucial role in determining the location between east and west and is used in conjunction with latitude to create accurate geographic coordinates. Measuring longitude is essential for navigation, timekeeping, and precise location determination on maps and Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Longitude lines also play a significant role in certain watch features that rely on geographic data, such as world time complications or sunrise/sunset indicators.
