Without the international date line, people who travel west around the planet would discover that when they returned home, it would seem as though an extra day had passed. This situation actually happened to Magellan's crew when they returned home after their circumnavigation of the Earth.
Here's how the international date line works: Let's say you fly from the United States to Japan, and suppose you leave the United States on Tuesday morning. Because you're traveling west, the time advances slowly thanks to time zones and the speed at which your airplane flies. But as soon as you cross the international date line, it's suddenly Wednesday.
On the reverse trip home, you fly from Japan to the United States. You leave Japan on Monday morning, but as you cross the Pacific Ocean, the day gets later quickly as you cross time zones moving eastward.
However, as soon as you cross the international date line, the day changes to Sunday.
