What does the prime meridian and international dateline combine to do?
Ideally, the International Date Line should be the meridian of 180° longitude. Actually, it has been zigged and zagged to avoid cutting across any island or country, since to do so would put two different calendar dates in the same country simultaneously. If the IDL coincided with the 180° meridian, then together with the Prime Meridian, it would form a great circle on the earth, passing through the north and south poles as well as through Greenwich. As it is now, the Prime Meridian, the 180° meridian, and all other meridians of longitude are semi-circles, that begin and end at the poles.
