Why is Prime Meridian at 0° longitude & Britain at the centre of the World?

The latitudes and longitudes together form a geographic coordinate system which was invented for the sole purpose of navigation. The prime meridian and anti-meridian are the most prominent longitudes whereas Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle are the most prominent latitudes.

Equator passes through 13 countries, Tropic of Capricorn passes through 10 countries, Tropic of Cancer passes through 16 countries, Arctic Circle passes through landmasses owned by eight countries and Antarctic circle passes through 1 continent only.

But why was the line passing through Greenwich named as Prime meridian or 0°? What is the use of coordinates? Lets find out in today’s episode.
