Answer:

The International Date Line runs down the middle of the Pacific Ocean. If you cross the date line moving east, you subtract a day, whereas if you are moving west you add a day. For example, if today is Friday and we crossed the International Date line from west to east then it would be Thursday.

There is a loss of one hour as we move form east to west and a gain of one hour as we move west to east crossing over the 15 degrees of longitude.

Explanation:

  • The international date line was created in 1884, and it passes through the mid pacific ocean following through 180 ° longitude in the north and south line on earth.
  • The zero degrees is established in Greenwich England. It acts as a line of demarcation ad separates the two consecutive calendar dates.
  • The phenomenon takes places when the people travelling to the west set their clocks back for every 15 degrees of longitude crossed.
  • Similar one travelling from west to the east must set their watches forward every hour for 15 degrees of longitude crossed failing to which they would experience a time lag or loss.
  • Example of the day and night difference of different cities in west and east.
