Starting on the Prime Meridian, you can reach Japan by going either east or west, whichever you're more comfortable with. Since the earth is a sphere, you'll get there either way. If your time is limited, though, you're better off going east, since Japan ranges between roughly 130° to 150° east longitude. Also note: From anywhere on the Prime Meridian, the exact direction for the shortest route to Japan depends on the exact starting point. From the north end of the Prime Meridian, you must go due south to reach Japan, and from the south end of it, you must head due north.
When reporting an object's velocity, you must include both the speed of the object and its direction. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes how fast and in which direction an object is moving. This can be represented using units such as meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h) along with a direction (e.g., north, east).

The equator is the imaginary central line that runs east and west along the earth, whereas, the prime meridian runs north and south. If we follow the equator we must move to the east and then north to arrive at the United Kingdom.Therefore the U.K. is located northeast from the equator.
