Answer:

mark me brainliest pls krushita

Explanation:

The International Date Line, established in 1884, passes through the mid-Pacific Ocean and roughly follows a 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is located halfway round the world from the prime meridian—the zero degrees longitude established in Greenwich, England, in 1852.

Answer 2

Answer:

The 180° longitude is also important because the International Date Line (IDL) runs along it. Day and date change at the IDL. Crossing the IDL from east to west a traveller will gain a day, while crossing it from west to east he will lose a day. The IDL does not cross any major landmass.It zig-zags to avoid crossing a country in the Pacific Ocean in order to maintain the same date and day at one time.

Imagine the confusion in a country with two different dates and days!
