Every meridian connects the Earth's north pole and south pole. On its way, one
meridian can run through any point on Earth. The definition of the Prime one is
that it crosses a certain mark on the floor of a certain room at the Royal Observatory
in Greenwich, England.
Once that requirement is satisfied, you have a meridian that runs through
the North Greenland Sea, the Norwegian Sea, England, the English Channel,
France, Spain, the western Mediterranean, Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo,
Ghana, the Gulf of Guinea, across the Equator, then the South Atlantic Ocean,
and Antarctica.
That line is defined as zero "longitude", and all longitudes on Earth are measured
starting from it. It's also half of the boundary between the eastern and western
hemispheres.

∙ 12y agoThe Prime Meridian is the line of all the points on earth whose longitude is zero.
It joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, a suburb of
London, England.
It runs straight north-south, and also passes through Spain, France, and several
countries in Africa.

Does the prime meridian run through north or south pole?
The Prime Meridian runs through both the North and South Poles, dividing Earth into the eastern and western hemispheres. =========================================The Prime Meridian touches both the north and south poles, but to be verytechnical about it, it doesn't 'run through' either of them.The poles are the ends of the Prime Meridian. So when it reaches each pole,it stops there, and doesn't 'run through'.
