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.

International dateline
The eastern as the prime meidian is to the west and the international dateline is to the east.
The globe is divided into the northern and southern hemisphere (divide by the equator) , and the eastern and western hemisphere (divided by the International Dateline).
On one side it's called the "Eastern Hemisphere", while on the other side it's called the "Western Hemisphere".
A hemisphere is a section of the Earth located north/south or between two major lines of latitude or longitude. The Northern Hemisphere is located north of the Equator. The Southern Hemisphere is located south of the Equator. The Western Hemisphere is located west of the Prime Meridian and east of the International Dateline. The Eastern Hemisphere is located east of the Prime Meridian and west of the International Dateline.
The Prime Meridian divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere, while the International Date Line divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere as well.
The International Date Line and the Prime Meridian both separate the eastern from the western hemisphere.
Africa is mainly located in the Eastern Hemisphere, with a small portion crossing into the Western Hemisphere. The Equator divides Africa into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Moscow can be found in the Eastern Hemisphere (near 55.75° N 37.6° E).*All of Russia, except for the eastern Chukotsk (Chukchi) peninsula, is in the eastern hemisphere.Since the generally accepted zero latitude is at Greenwich in England, where you can straddle the boundary between east and west, the answer is that Moscow is in the eastern hemisphere.
Believe it or not, Alaska is actually the most northeastern state in addition to being the most northwestern, northern, eastern, and western. This is all because Alaska crosses the International Dateline (180˚), making it a part of the Eastern Hemisphere. Despite this, Maine is typically thought to be the northeastern-most state.
China is located in the Northern and Eastern Hemisphere. -OR- In Asia. that's not true. tytykru: Ohh Okay :)
