# International Date Line ## Definition The **International Date Line** (IDL) is an imaginary line on Earth's surface located roughly along the **180° meridian** in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross this line: - **Traveling westward** (e.g., from USA to Japan): you **add one day** (skip forward) - **Traveling eastward** (e.g., from Japan to USA): you **subtract one day** (go back) It zigzags to avoid dividing countries, so some island nations remain on the same calendar day. ## Worked Example **Scenario:** You're flying from **Los Angeles to Tokyo** on Wednesday at 1:00 PM. 1. **Los Angeles (Wednesday, 1:00 PM)** - You depart 2. The flight takes 11 hours 3. You cross the IDL going **westward** over the Pacific 4. **Tokyo arrival:** Wednesday 1:00 PM + 11 hours = Thursday 12:00 AM (midnight) 5. **Plus crossing IDL westward** = add one day 6. **Final arrival time: Friday 12:00 AM** (you "lost" Thursday during the flight) So you leave Wednesday afternoon and arrive early Friday morning, even though only 11 hours passed on the plane!
