Between the north pole and the equator, the 140 East meridian crosses territory in Russia and Japan. South of the equator, the same meridian crosses, Indonesia, Australia, and Antarctica.
AM = "Ante - Meridian"PM = "Post - Meridian""Ante" and "post" mean "before" and "after"."Meridian" is the imaginary line in the sky that runs north/south and passes directly over you.In the morning, the sun moves from the eastern horizon toward the meridian. At Noon, the sun crosses the meridian. In the afternoon, the sun has crossed the meridian and moves away from it toward the west.Morning is the time before the sun crosses the meridian = Ante-Meridian = AM.Afternoon and evening is the time after the sun crosses the meridian = Post-Meridian = PM.

The Prime Meridian joins the north and south poles, as all meridians of longitude do. In Europe, it crosses England, France, and Spain. In Africa, it crosses Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana. It also crosses several hundred miles of Antarctica.
The Prime Meridian crosses the Tropic of Cancer in southwestern Algeria about 150 miles east of Mali in Africa.
The 60th meridian west traverses the following: Greenland Canada Barbados (territorial waters) Guyana Brazil Paraguay Argentina Falkland Islands Antarctica
The prime meridian does not meet. It starts at the north pole and ends at the south pole, passing through Greenwich, London. At the poles it becomes the anti-meridian or the international date line
The Prime Meridian is the imaginary line that joins the earth's north and south poles and crosses a groove in the floor of the Transit Room of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England. By international agreement, that line is the zero line from which all longitudes are measured.
The Prime Meridian crosses Europe, Africa, and Antarctica. The longitude of every point on it is zero. Chicago is in the middle of North America. The longitude here at my house 2 miles north of the Chicago city limits is 87.7214° west. By the shortest possible route, we're 3,311 miles from the Prime meridian here.
The meridian of 60 degrees west longitude crosses parts of North America, South America, and Antarctica.
A "parallel" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same latitude ... the angle measured north or south of the equator. Each parallel is a full circle, that crosses all meridians. A "meridian" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same longitude ... the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian. Each meridian is a half- circle, that crosses all parallels.
