In geography, meridians are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, forming a grid on the Earth's surface. They are part of a coordinate system used to specify locations in terms of longitude. Each meridian is defined by its longitude, which is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees longitude and runs through Greenwich, England.
