Both. The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude, both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth away from it. The Line was drawn with some jogs and zig-zags in it for political reasons, mainly to avoid having it split island nations or contiguous areas of national interest.

∙ 9y agoSamoa has been west of the international date line since 1000 UTC 30 Dec 2011. The time there is UTC + 13 hours from the first Sunday of April until the last Sunday of September and UTC + 14 hours during the rest of the year.
American Samoa is still east of the international date line. The time there is always UTC - 11 hours.

How far is international date line from Seattle?

How helpful is the international date line?
In a world in which people commonly travel great distances, it is necessary to have some means of keeping track of how the time of day changes in different parts of the world, and it is necessary to have an international date line. There is no absolute necessity for the international date line to be where it is; that was a reasonable choice but not the only possible choice. But we definitely need to have an international date line somewhere. At some point, the far east meets the far west, and one day becomes another day. It has to happen, for our time keeping system to make sense on a global scale. If you just stayed in the same city for your whole life, you would never need an international date line (or a passport). But in the age of jet airplanes, we travel a lot.
Where can you find the international date line?
the north pole, the south pole, and and in between the eastern and western hemisphere's of the world. opposite the 0o meridian that runs through Greenwich. For part of its length, the International Date Line follows the meridian of 180° longitude, roughly down the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To avoid crossing nations internally, however, the line deviates to pass around the far east of Russia and various island groups in the Pacific.
What is the approximate degree of longitude for the international date line?
The International Date Line follows the 180th meridian except where it shifts eastward around Siberia, westward around the Aleutian Islands, eastward around the Fiji Islands and New Zealand, and it is offset as far as 174o 54' W to avoid cutting through the Pacific island republic of Kiribati in Micronesia.The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude, both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth away from it.

Which American state is nearest to the international date line?
Hmmm. Assuming the originally defined location of the date line, it would be whatever city is closest to the intersection of the prime meridian, (Greenwich Meridian) and the equator. That point is in the ocean, just south of the northwest extention of the African continent. The city might be in dispute if we take modern re-definitions of the date line into account. The island nation of Kiribati made an extremely large (close to 30 degrees of longitude) change to the date line's location in order to insure that it was the first nation to experience sunrise in the new century. This move is not universally accepted as legitimate.
