the earth rotates in an anticlockwise direction which proves the rising in the East and setting in the West and this rotation take 24 hours to complete which is a day.

The idea that the sun is moving comes from the fact that we are moving but we do not feel it and so we rotate across the gaze of the sun from East to West

When you cross the IDL from east to west ... like going from the US to Japan ... you move your watch and calendar to read a day later. You skip over 24 hours, and you 'lose' them. When you cross it going from west to east ... like toward the US and Canada from Asia ... you move your watch and calendar to read a day earlier. You get to live the same 24 hours all over again, so you 'gain' a day.
