Meridian
Geography Relevance
Understand 'meridian' as crucial in geography for indicating exact longitudinal positions on Earth.

Class, please indicate the meridian that passes through Cairo, Egypt.
Not a Border
'Meridian' is not a physical line or border, but an abstract geographical concept.

Although the Prime Meridian is important, you won't see it painted on the globe.
Time Zone Indicator
Meridians are related to time zones; territories at similar longitudes share time zones.

Our country's time zone is determined by which meridian it lies closest to.
