Answer 1

সঠিক উত্তর হচ্ছে: The angular distance east or west of the Greenwich meridian

ব্যাখ্যা:

It is an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by the Greek letter lambda (λ). The longitude of other places is measured as the angle east or west from the Prime Meridian, ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to +180° eastward and −180° westward.
