The Equator is the imaginary line that runs east and west half way between the north and south poles. The equator has a latitude of 0 degrees which divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is one of the five named circles of latitude on Earth. Going from North to South, the circles of latitude are called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle.
The International Date Line is an imaginary line that roughly follows the 180-degree meridian. It is not a "palline" but rather a geographic marker used to indicate where one calendar day ends and another begins.
The International Date Line closely follows the 180-degree meridian. It is an imaginary line that determines where one day ends and the next begins. When crossing the International Date Line from east to west, you 'lose' a day, and when crossing from west to east, you 'gain' a day.
The line of longitude where one day ends and another begins is called the International Date Line. It roughly follows the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean and marks the transition between calendar days.

The Greenwich Meridian at 0 degrees longitude is used as a universal coordinator of all time zones, which means that all time zones refer to the Greenwich Meridian. For example, if a time zone states UTC +8, that means that it is 8 hours earlier than the time at the Greenwich Meridian.On the other hand, the International Date Line located roughly at 180 degrees longitude, is a divider between Day 1 and Day 2.

The equator.... :)
That would be the "International Date Line" which is skillfully drawn to avoid crossing any land mass.

The Midnight Meridian refers to the line of longitude directly opposite the Prime Meridian, marking the halfway point between the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian. It is where each calendar day begins.
The spelling is "prime meridian". That is the meridian from which counting begins; i.e., the prime meridian, by definition, has longitude zero, and degrees are counted to the east and to the west of the prime meridian. In the international system currently used, that is the Greenwich meridian - a meridian that goes through the Greenwich Observatory in London.
