The difference is 180 degrees of longitude. They're two different [imaginary] lines
on the earth's surface, directly opposite each other. The Prime Meridian connects
the north and south poles and runs through Europe and Africa. The International
Date Line also connects the north and south poles, but runs down the other side
of the earth, through the Pacific Ocean. If you stand at any point on either one of
them (except at the north or south pole), then you can't see any point on the
other one.
No. They're exactly on opposite sides of the Earth. The Prime Meridian connects the
north and south poles running through England, and the International Dateline closely
follows the meridian of 180° longitude, connecting the poles and running through the
Pacific Ocean.
