What is the most eastern state?
Believe it or not it is Alaska. Alaska is the most northern, most eastern, and most western state. Hawaii is the most southern. Alaska divides the eastern and western hemisphere at the International Dateline or End Meridian (180 degrees longitude), making it qualify for east and west. The Prime meridiam (0 degrees longitude) is located in Greenwich England.
What is the difference between the international date line and a time zone?
180 degree meridian is the meridiam ospposite to the Prime Meridean or The Greenwich Meridian. It helps to find the location of a place. The 180 degree west and the 180 degree east are the same meridians. Whereas, the International Date Line or the IDL is an imaginary line that runs ALONG the 180 degree meridian. It bend slightly to avoid land. If a person travells eastward of it , he /she gains a day, but if a person travells westward of it he/she loses a day.
