180 degrees longitude is the meridian that should be the International Date Line. But in actuality, the date line was drawn with several zigs and zags in it, in order to avoid cutting across land, which would have placed different parts of the same country in different calendar dates. So the Date line deviates from the 180 meridian in several places.

What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?
If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
