The zigzags on the International Date Line (IDL) exist to accommodate national borders and territorial claims, ensuring that entire countries or regions remain within the same time zone. This design prevents confusion and logistical issues that could arise if parts of a nation were to observe different dates. The IDL essentially bends around landmasses to maintain consistency in timekeeping for populations living within those areas.

When the earth has two calendars which time zones are ahead by one day?
There are several calendars in use presently. Time Zones are calculated from The Prime Meridian, no matter which calendar is in use. All international business and commerce uses the Gregorian calendar. For religious and spiritual dates in calendars other than Gregorian local time is used so time zones are not a concern.
Why does shuttle zigzag around earth?
The shuttle doesn't "zigzag around Earth". The shuttles now pretty much sit where they're parked; there hasn't been a shuttle mission since July 2011. (The Endeavor orbiter did "zig-zag" slightly as it was delivered from the Kennedy Space Center to the California Science Center in Los Angeles; it made stops in Houston, El Paso, and Edwards AFB along the way.)Even when the shuttles were flying, "zig-zag" would not have been an accurate description of their motion except during certain specific maneuvers. For example, the landing flight paths generally involved a high-altitude "zig-zag" (actually, more of a loop) in preparation for lining up on the landing path.

In what country does the sun rise last?
Quick and Dirty: The US. Read on for an explanation.Any "date and time" you want to name is actually a situation that flows around the earth, so we have to decide on what we'll call the beginning and end of a day.The International Date Line is a convenient and widely accepted benchmark. The IDL has several bends in it.I believe the answer is the US. The Alutian Islands, the archipelago that extends westward from the state of Alaska, makes necessary a slight shift of the IDL to the west. I believe it is the only place where the IDL shifts in that way. That means that the "older" day lingers in that part of the world a little longer than in other places, and when the sun rises there, it is the last place where any old day ends and new day dawns.There is no international body that determines what shifts are acceptable; affected nations are free to move the date line in a way that makes sense for them. Dealing with an offset of a few hours is problem enough for countries like Russia, the US and China, but having a nation literally divided by datewould be unworkable.

What causes silvery zig zags in front of eyes?
Silvery zig-zags in front of the eyes, often referred to as visual snow or scintillating scotoma, can be caused by various factors, including migraines, retinal disturbances, or visual aura. These zig-zags are typically a result of transient changes in the brain's visual processing areas, leading to distorted visual perception. Stress, fatigue, or certain medications may also trigger these symptoms. If they persist or are accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
