Difference between equator and international dateline?

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.


Imaginary line halfway around the globe from the prime medidian?

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.


What is an imaginary line that runs from the north pole to the south pole and roughly follows the 180th meridian and in the plates where the day begins?

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.


What is the latitude and longitude point were the equator and international date line cross?

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).


What body of water bisects both the equator and the international dateline?

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.
