The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- On a spheroid, a prime meridian and its anti-meridian form a great ellipse.
- This divides the body into two hemispheres: the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
- Unlike the equator, which also divides a spherical celestial body into two hemispheres, the prime meridian is astronomically arbitrary.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Prime meridian article was read about 160,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
