The International Date Line follows the 180th meridian except where it shifts eastward around Siberia, westward around the Aleutian Islands, eastward around the Fiji Islands and New Zealand, and it is offset as far as 174o 54' W to avoid cutting through the Pacific island republic of Kiribati in Micronesia.
The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude, both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth away from it. The Line was drawn with some jogs and zig-zags in it for political reasons, mainly to avoid having it split island nations or contiguous areas of national interest.
What else can I help you with?
The international date line roughly follows?
The international date line roughly follows the 180° longitude line in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross this line from west to east, you advance one day, and when you cross from east to west, you go back one day.
Is the international date line a line of latitude?
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
The approximate location of the international date line is the?
The International Date Line is an imaginary line located at about 180 degrees longitude, mostly in the Pacific Ocean. It separates one calendar day from another when moving east or west across it.
What is name for 180 degrees longitude?
This line is known as the antimeridian or simply the 180th meridian. The international date line is sometimes used although it is not entirely correct. The international date line is a "political" convention and sometimes deviates signifigantly from the actual 180 degree longitude
What is the latitude of the international date line?
The International Date Line is NOMINALLY the meridian of 180 degrees longitude (both east and west).The actual date line has been defined with a few bumps and jogs in it that depart from 180 degrees, in order to avoid cutting through island nations. (That would have put two different calendar dates in the same country.)
What is the approximate degrees of longitude for the Ineternational Date Line?
The International Dateline approximately follows the meridian of 180° longitude.
What degree of longitude does the International Date Line follow?
Mainly the 180 degree line.
What is the approximate degrees of longitude date line?
The International Dateline approximately follows the meridian of 180° longitude.
What degree is international date line?
180 degrees east/west longitude
The international date line roughly follows?
The international date line roughly follows the 180° longitude line in the Pacific Ocean. When you cross this line from west to east, you advance one day, and when you cross from east to west, you go back one day.
What are 2 specific lines of longitude?
One degree east and one degree west. You're probably looking for the prime meridian and the International Date Line, but the IDL isn't a specific line of longitude.
Name given to 180 degree longitude line?
The 180 degree longitude is often miscalled international date line, when it is actually called the Anti Meridian.The date line is not a meridian or line of longitude because it is not a straight line as it deviates to separate geographical places, certain island groups for instance.See the link below for an image.The longitude that runs through Greenwich England is the prime meridian, which is 0 deg longitude.
Which pair of lines are examples of lines of longitude Prime meridian and 120 degree E International date line and 60 degree N?
The first pair is.
What degrees of longitude is the international date line on?
Whether travelling to the West or to the East from the Prime Meridian (zero Longitude) the International Date Line is 180 degrees Longitude.
What is the international date line and where is it?
This imaginary line of longitude is the 180 degree line of Longitude. It is on the opposite side of the planet to the Greenwich meridian. Thus when it is 12 o'clock mid day at Greenwich, it is midnight on the 180 degree line of longitude. As you will know midnight denotes the start of a new day (and therefore a new day's date) and this is why it is called the International date line. In reality the internationally agreed path of the International date line does not follow the 180 degree longitude line. This is because if it did some pacific island countries would find themselves in two days at once (most confusing!). The line therefore jiggles about a bit as is crosses the pacific. See related link below.
Is the international date line a line of latitude?
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
The approximate location of the international date line is the?
The International Date Line is an imaginary line located at about 180 degrees longitude, mostly in the Pacific Ocean. It separates one calendar day from another when moving east or west across it.
