The equator is the plane whose latitude is zero.While zero is the longitude or the meridian passing the old Royal Astronomical Observatory in Greenwich, England, which is the one chosen as zero longitude. Located at the eastern edge of London, the British capital, the observatory is now a public museum and a brass band stretching across its yard marks the "prime meridian."

The zero degree latitude is nothing but the equator from which all latitudinal calculations start.For example,equator passes through Ecuador and some african nations.
The zero degree longitude is the greenwich meridian or prime meridian from which all time calculations are made.For example,greenwich meridian passes through london(greenwich)
