Answer 1

The correct option is A

360

Answer: Total number of longitudes is 360

Out of 179 western longitudes, 179 eastern longitudes, 1 GMT line, and 1 (0 °) longitude line, the total number of longitudes is 360. The 180 ° longitude line is sometimes called the International Date Line. To determine the difference, duration of days and nights, time and weather of a place, we use latitudes. Whereas longitudes, relative to Greenwich Mean Time, help to identify the exact time of a place.
