Crossing the International Date Line when traveling from Rarotonga to Auckland is significant because it results in a change of date. Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, is located just east of the Date Line, while Auckland, New Zealand, is just west of it. Therefore, when a traveler moves from Rarotonga to Auckland, they effectively "gain" a day, meaning if they leave Rarotonga on a Monday, they will arrive in Auckland on the following day, Tuesday. This shift can affect travel plans, scheduling, and time management for travelers.
During the course of that trip, you cross the Dateline going west. Whenever one crosses the Dateline going west, he leaves the time on his clock unchanged, but he advances his calendar one day. That is, if his calendar reads July 24, he cranks it ahead to July 25.
The air distance from Rarotonga, Cook Islands, to Auckland, New Zealand, is 1,869 miles. That equals 3,008 kilometers or 1,624 nautical miles.
Auckland is 22 hours ahead of Rarotonga when New Zealand is on Standard Time and 23 hours ahead during Daylight Saving Time.Daylight Saving Time in New Zealand begins on the last Sunday of September at 02:00 NZST and ends on the first Sunday of April at 03:00 NZDT.
Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can head out of Rarotonga in either direction, either east or west, and eventually wind up in Auckland. The trip is quite a bit shorter, though, if you travel westward, and that will take you across the International Date Line. At the moment of crossing the line, the right things to do are to advance your calendar by one day, and turn your clock ahead 24 hours. For example, if it happens to be 3:00 PM on Tuesday, then it becomes 3:00 PM on Wednesday when you cross the line. In reality, there's no need to make the adjustment exactly as you cross the line. Passengers typically make the change when they board the ship or plane, or when they disembark at the end of the trip. As long as you're actually at sea or in the air, it really doesn't matter much what day it is.
