The Sun can only illuminate half the Earth at a time.
When it is night in the eastern hemisphere, it is day in the western hemisphere. The Earth is divided into two hemispheres: eastern and western, with a 180-degree separation. This means that when it is night in one hemisphere, it is day in the other.
It is located in the Eastern Hemisphere in Africa
The Earth rotates on its axis from west to east, causing the sun to appear to rise in the east and set in the west. This rotation creates the cycle of day and night as different parts of the Earth face towards or away from the sun. This is why the eastern hemisphere experiences daytime when it faces the sun and the western hemisphere experiences nighttime when it is facing away from the sun.
The eastern and western hemispheres are each 12 hours wide, and along half of the boundary between them, the day changes. So, depending on what point you pick in each hemisphere, the time in the western hemisphere could be anywhere from 12 hours earlier to 23 hours earlier than the time in the eastern one.
When crossing the International Date Line from the western hemisphere to the eastern hemisphere, you go ahead by one day. This means that if it's Monday just before crossing, it will be Tuesday immediately after crossing. Conversely, when traveling the other way, from east to west, you would go back one day.
The International Date Line runs between Russia and Alaska. The Eastern Hemisphere is a day ahead of the Western Hemisphere.
They arrived via a land bridge between modern day Alaska and Eastern Siberia.

it is one day before the day on the eastern side
No, the prime meridian (0 degrees longitude) defines the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The 180th meridian (opposite of the prime meridian) is the International Date Line, which primarily serves as the line where one day ends and another begins.
The Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) is the line that separates the eastern and western hemispheres. It runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, passing through Greenwich, London. Additionally, the 180th meridian, also known as the International Date Line, separates one calendar day from another and further divides the eastern and western hemispheres.
