Is there gravity at the international dateline?

Yes, there is gravity at the International Date Line, just as there is everywhere on Earth. The International Date Line is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, primarily along the 180° longitude, and it affects time zones rather than physical properties like gravity. Gravity varies slightly across the Earth due to factors such as altitude and the Earth's shape, but it remains present at the Date Line, similar to other locations on the planet.
