What is the international date line and where is it?
This imaginary line of longitude is the 180 degree line of Longitude. It is on the opposite side of the planet to the Greenwich meridian. Thus when it is 12 o'clock mid day at Greenwich, it is midnight on the 180 degree line of longitude. As you will know midnight denotes the start of a new day (and therefore a new day's date) and this is why it is called the International date line. In reality the internationally agreed path of the International date line does not follow the 180 degree longitude line. This is because if it did some pacific island countries would find themselves in two days at once (most confusing!). The line therefore jiggles about a bit as is crosses the pacific. See related link below.
