Answer:
The International Date Line, shown here as a yellow line, defines the boundary between calendar dates. 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.

The 180° meridian was selected as the International Date Line because it mostly runs through the sparsely populated Central Pacific Ocean.
