Generation

The International Date Line is an imaginary line located roughly along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean that marks where the calendar date changes by one day. When crossing the line from east to west (e.g., from the Americas toward Asia), you add one day, while crossing from west to east, you subtract one day. This prevents calendar confusion created by Earth's 24-hour rotation and time zones. **Key formula**: Longitude difference ÷ 15° = time difference in hours (since Earth rotates 360° in 24 hours, or 15° per hour).
