The International Date Line is drawn on a map to mark the point where each day officially begins. It is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and helps to account for the differences in time zones and days around the world. It ensures that as you cross it, you either gain a day or lose a day depending on the direction of travel.
