Answer 1

Answer:

In order to avoid the confusion of having different dates in the same country, the International Date Line bends and goes zig zag at the Bering Strait between Siberia and Alaska, Fiji, Tonga and in some other islands. The Dateline Is Not Straight

..............................................

The dateline runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and marks the divide between the Western and Eastern Hemisphere. It is not straight but zigzags to avoid political and country borders and to not cut some countries in half.

..............................................

As we know that the earth’s shape is spheroid, but do we know that how to determine time, date and locate places on earth. For that matter, we have to draw some imaginary lines like longitude, latitude, equator, prime meridian for navigation and geographical information.

..............................................

Because it can’t do anything else.

The International Date Line simply defines the boundary between time zones that are “west” of UTC (round UTC-12 or so) and those that are “east” of UTC (round UTC+12 or so). Any country that borders on the Date Line can change their time zone. For example, on 31 December 1994 Kiritimati (pronounced “Christmas”) changed the time zone from UTC-10 to UTC+14, causing that funny hammer-shaped bend in the International Date Line.
