The Greenwich meridian passes through the site of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich in south-east London. It is known as the prime meridian and positions east or west of it are measured in relation to it: New York is 74\u00b0W and Sydney 151\u00b010'E. The Greenwich meridian is also the base for the time zones. In zones east of Greenwich,<br> the clocks are ahead,<br> so at midnight in London it is 3a.m. in Moscow In zones west of Greenwich,<br> the clocks are behind,<br> so at midnight in London,<br> in San Francisco it is 4p.m. The International Date Line is where the days change,<br> so when it is Sunday just east of it,<br> it is Monday to the west of it.*<\/center>\n\n\n<center>***Fact file***<\/center>\n\n\n<center>![egeg (http:\/\/www.amateurastronomy.co.uk\/images\/herstmonceuxdomes.JPG)\n\n<center>**In the mid-1950's,<br> the Royal Greenwich Observator was moved from Greewich to Herstmonceux Castle in East Sussex to avoid interference from London lights and interference from electric train lines.**<\/center>\n\n\n<pre><code>resources: Tell me why (Chancellor Press)\nimage 1: http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/nol\/shared\/bsp\/hi\/dhtml_slides\/09\/greenwich_meridian\/img\/01_merid_greenwich_466map.gif\nimage 2: http:\/\/www.amateurastronomy.co.uk\/images\/herstmonceuxdomes.JPG<\/code><\/pre>\n\n----\n\n<center>![30875202_1924270544258858_8654628284220309504_n.gif (https:\/\/gateway.ipfs.io\/ipfs\/QmQtZgQdS2FD7BtAdmwiKJX4rSSkw5HWYhgPGVxcHgAoEv)<\/center>\n",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"busy\",<br>\"app\":\"busy\/2.4.0\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"blog\",<br>\"busy\",<br>\"fact\",<br>\"trivia\",<br>\"art\" " | | vote | "voter":"lapilipinas",
