International Date Line

Since the earth is a sphere (a ball), you can get from anywhere to anywhere else

by starting out in either of two opposite directions.

From Sydney to Dubai, the choice is entirely up to you, whether or not you feel like

crossing the IDL while en route. All we can tell you is that the flight is certain to be

much shorter and cheaper if you're willing to go without that experience on that

particular trip.

To reset the date and time in a 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, you typically need to do so through the vehicle's settings on the radio or instrument cluster display. Consult your owner's manual for specific instructions on how to change the date and time settings in your car.

The time difference normally varies from 17 to 21 hours depending on which part of America you come from and whether New Zealand has day light saving at that time of the year. So if you are in New York which is 5 hours behind GMT and it is summer in New Zealand, then the time difference is 17 hours. But if you are in Los Angeles which is 8 hours behind GMT and its Winter in New Zealand, you are 21 hours behind.

An interesting factor is that it is quite possible that you are 2 calender days behind New Zealand! And its quite interesting too. The International Date Line is set such that no two countries are separated by more than a day. So the maximum difference between two countries can at best be 24 hours. However, during winter, New Zealand, given its geographical position, has to add an extra hour to save on daylight. This means, that in addition to the maximum of 12 hours allowed for any country, it adds a further one hour and moves 13 hours ahead of GMT. So if you happen to visit one of United States Minor Outlying Islands which are GMT-12, you will for an entire one hour everyday from April to September, be 2 days behind New Zealand!!

Shaking during acceleration in a 2003 BMW 325xi could be caused by issues with the engine mounts, spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel system. It is recommended to have a mechanic inspect these components to determine the exact cause of the shaking.

The International Date Line zigzags to accommodate national boundaries and avoid dividing countries in half. It appears on both sides of the map because it is not a straight line; it bends to include certain territories within the same date.

So you know what map you are looking at

The prime meridian intersects the continents of Europe, Africa and Antarctica.

The closest continent east of the International Date Line is North America.

The average elevation of Utah is about 6,100 feet (1,860 meters) above sea level. However, Utah's elevation can vary significantly across the state, with some areas reaching over 13,000 feet (4,000 meters) in the Uinta Mountains.

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.

The Greenwich or "Prime" meridian was arbitrarily defined as 0 degrees of longitude. Longitudinal positions are measured as either east or west from Greenwich. (The French for a while had a separate system that used the Paris meridian as 0 degrees). Since a sphere - the Earth - has 360 degrees of longitude half way around the east measurements and west measurements will meet. This is at E180 degrees or W180 degrees of longitude. This is the International Date Line. So, places that are located in longitudes east of Greenwich are in the eastern hemisphere and those west of Greenwich in the western hemisphere.

There is also a geopolitical interpretation of eastern-western hemisphere as well. Look at a map and you'll see that significant portions of Africa are western hemisphere nations and that much of Europe is in the eastern. The geopolitical interpretation groups European nations (and their eastern hemisphere developed former colonies) and North and South America as Western and everybody else as Eastern. That way the western hemisphere parts of Africa are excluded from "The West" and the SE Asian outliers of Australia and New Zealand are included as "Western" nations.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, generally following a zigzag path to avoid cutting through any landmasses. It is located in the Pacific Ocean, mostly along the 180 degrees longitude line.

Latitude and longitude lines help geographers identify specific locations on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification.

The coordinates provided point to a location in the South Atlantic Ocean, approximately 148 miles southeast of Tristan da Cunha, which is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world. These coordinates do not correspond to any major landmass or significant point of interest.

Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.

The International Meridian Conference was a conference held in October 1884 in Washington, D.C. in the United States to determine the Prime Meridian of the world. It was held at the request of U.S. President Chester A. Arthur. Twenty-five nations (Austria-Hungary, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Guatemala, Hawaii, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Paraguay, Russia, San Domingo, Salvador, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United States, Venezuela) were represented by 41 delegates.

Yes, a line segment is a part of a line. A line extends infinitely in two directions, whereas a line segment is a finite portion of that line with two distinct endpoints.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line that follows the 180° meridian. This line is drawn in a way that it avoids landmasses to prevent dividing countries or regions. The poles were chosen as the line's endpoints to have the least impact on human settlement.

Hi In the early part of the 20th century if someone was having a good time and you asked how they were doing they might say "I'm having a ball of a time" meaning that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. It has to do historically with the grand masked ball, or dance, where people wore costumes, masks, danced the gavotte, and flirted heavily. Try reading Pride and Prejudice. Phil

Interesting poem. I think that one of the contemporary trends you mention is just that someone *can* walk down the street listening to music. This was not always possible, but is getting more and more common since the advent of the walkman, and now the iPod. I love how he talks about the musicians as though they were there, actually walking with him, and how he switches between external and internal focus ... making you wonder what is more important... the destination or the disc?

No country has 48 hours in a day. A day consists of 24 hours globally, with each hour containing 60 minutes. Any discrepancy in time measurement beyond this standard is due to different time zones or unique conventions for marking time.
