Dopey,

Your STUPIDITY also extends into Geometry(?) which isn't Longitude.
Before lines of Longitude which were positioned by a clock, they used
MERIDIAN LINES that were set by GEOGRAPHY not geometry

Wilbur, you are to stupid for this discussion. I'll end it right here.
You
are to stupid to discuss Geometry, Geography, History, Navigation,
Sailing, Sail Making, or Natural Science


Now, that's funny! Lines of longitude are also called meridian lines but
meridian lines have nothing whatsoever to do with the time clock.
Perhaps you are getting confused by the interest in developing an
accurate chronometer which was necessary for early sailors to plot
longitude by using the geometry of the stars and other heavenly bodies.
Unfortunately that is a side issue which, while it might confuse low IQ
types, has nothing to do with meridians of longitude beings based on the
ticking of a clock.

Meridians of longitude DO have everything to do with 360 degrees in a
circle, however. Honestly, old chap, you sure have some odd ball ideas.
No wonder you sold your inferior motor boat (the one with the cosmetic
sails). Probably couldn't find your way back home because the time on
your watch didn't match up with your Meridian. Hence, you used more
diesel fuel than you could afford.
