The International Date Line (IDL) passes through the Pacific Ocean. It is an imaginary line, like longitudes and latitudes. The time difference on either side of this line is 24 hours. So, the date changes as soon as one crosses this line. To avoid any confusion of date, this line is drawn through where the sea lies and not land. Hence, the IDL is drawn in a zig-zag manner.

Explanation:
the international date line is not perfectly straight if it remains straight and crosses any one of the country's then there will be 24 hours time difference within the same country which will be impractical and inconvenient therefore, this line has been made irregular to avoid the crossing of the land and complication in time relation
