it runs vertical to the equator. It, like the equator, is located at 0 degrees.( it is just like the equator, but it runs vertical right in the center) .. it's origin point is recognized as the Royal Observatory in Greenwich (London) England - it runs south from the there through Europe western Africa.
The Prime Meridian is the line of 0° longitude. It passes through Greenwich, England (part of greater London), and divides the eastern and western hemispheres.
south west
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
It is the base longitude line on a map
The distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
That is the Prime Meridian. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.

The prime meridian goes east to south, as the equator runs east to west. The prime meridian is used as 12:00AM on a time zone map
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
It is the base longitude line on a map
The distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
That depends on what you mean by "to the right of." If you are facing north, or if you are looking at a map that has north at the top, then the eastern hemisphere is to the right of the Prime Meridian.
That is the Prime Meridian. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
