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.
