The equator and the International dateline cross. the distance between a point on one
and a point on the other can be anywhere between zero and about 6,214 miles.
The Prime Meridian is located at 0 degrees, the international date line is not. There is only one prime meridian, there are many international date line.
The imaginary line halfway around the globe from the prime meridian is called the International Date Line. This line marks the transition between one calendar day and the next and is located at 180 degrees longitude. Crossing the International Date Line moving eastward subtracts one day, while crossing it moving westward adds one day to the calendar.
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 runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).
Both the equator and the International date line cross through the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the point where these two lines meet is in this body of water.

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 runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
Both the equator and the International date line cross through the Pacific Ocean. In fact, the point where these two lines meet is in this body of water.
The equator crosses South America, Africa, and Asia. The IDL crosses only Antarctica.
