Why do vehicles travelling westwards deduct a day when the cross the international date line?

-- First of all . . . the International Dateline doesn't cross any land except on
Antarctica. So a vehicle, as in 'wheeled landcraft', that's crossing it, has a more
immediate problem than figuring out what day it is. In order to deal with this
question, we'll consider ships and aircraft that cross the line.
-- The few that actually 'deduct' a day do it because their passengers and crew
have been misled and are confused. The sad result is that when they reach their
destination, their calendars disagree with those of the locals by two days.
-- The correct and appropriate adjustment when crossing the IDL in the westward
direction is to ADD a day, i.e. tear a page off of one's calendar, as if one had instantly
aged by one extra day.

During PDT Tokyo is 16 hours ahead of Los Angeles. When it is 1200 (noon) in Los Angeles on Monday, it is 0400 (4 AM) in Tokyo on Tuesday. During PST, Tokyo is 17 hours ahead of Los Angeles.

The temperature is lower during nighttime because of the sun's heat. At nighttime, the moon is out and the sun is on the other side of the earth. Since the other side isn't getting heat from the sun, temperatures will begin to deduct.
