Prime Meridian Day is celebrated on November 1st to remember a special imaginary line called the Prime Meridian. This line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and helps us divide the Earth into two equal halves: the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. It is like a starting point for measuring time and space around the globe. The Prime Meridian passes through a place called Greenwich in London, England. This day helps people understand how important it is for navigation, map-making, and keeping time the same all over the world.
How to celebrate Prime Meridian Day?
Start by drawing a globe and a line around it representing the Prime Meridian. Have fun with a scavenger hunt where each clue takes you one step east or west. Make a time capsule to open in the future, thinking about how people around the world live on different time zones. Bake a cake and decorate it with a world map. Watch a movie or cartoon about adventures around the world. Finish by calling a friend or family member in a different time zone to share what you've done, remembering how we're all connected through this invisible line.
