International Date Line

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.

At the north pole, there was no sunrise on that date. At the south pole, there was

no sunset. Anywhere in between, the times of sunrise and sunset depended on

the latitude of the location.

The International Date Line corresponds to 180 degrees longitude on the earth. If you imagine the Greenwich Meridian as a circle all the way round the globe (through Greenwich and both poles) the date line is the part of the circle on the "other side" from Greenwich. It is very difficult to follow what is happening at the date line, and if it doesn't take you a long time, you are very bright. The line is right in the center of its time zone. If you are standing right to the east of the date line (to the right as you would see it on a map) and your friend is a few feet away from you, standing just to the west of the line, then your friend will always be exactly one day ahead of you. On your side, it might be 10 am Tuesday October 9. For your friend, it will be 10 am Wednesday, October 10. At the stroke of midnight, you both go to the first hour of the next day. That's the part I had trouble wrapping my brain around. One trick to understanding the date line is to remember that there is another "line" that separates 2 adjacent days-- Midnight. Of course, midnight moves, while the date line is fixed. There are some nations (including the US) that are affected by the placement of the date line, and there are no laws governing its actual location. However, virtually everyone knows that there is a need for such a dividing line. There are also some island nations in the Pacific that are affected by the date line, and all of these affected nations have "defined" the date line to be farther to their east or to their west than the originally defined 180 degrees longitude, so that all of their territory could be operating on the same calendar day. As a result of the change made by the island nation of Kiribati, Caroline Island was the first point on the globe to enter the year 2000.

Local literature on time monitoring systems may discuss the effectiveness of such systems in improving productivity and accountability in the workplace. Foreign literature may focus on technological advancements in time monitoring systems and their impact on employee performance and work-life balance. Both local and foreign studies can provide insights into the best practices for implementing time monitoring systems in different organizational settings.

The islands of Fiji are on both sides the Anti-meridian (-180 and +180 longitude) but the International Date Line (IDL) is bent to give uniform time (UTC+12) to all of the Fiji group.

This makes Fiji a very interesting region to map makers.

the international date line sits on the 180 0 line of longitude in the middle of the Pacific Ocean , and is the imaginary line that separates two consecative calendar days

She has a thumb injury, and it has meant she hasn't played golf for most of this season.

It's carefully placed in the ocean to avoid the problems of the line being on land.

Yes, the Alaskan Aleutian Islands cross the International Dateline. On a map or globe it does not because the "International Dateline" kind of zig zags. This is only done on maps and globes so it would not go through any country. In reality the International Dateline is 180W/180E.

The International Date Line is an imaginary line of longitude which divides Earth into two days. Crossing the International Date Line east results in a day subtracted and crossing it west results in a day added. This is where the calendar day resets.

Sunday.

When traveling from west to east then yes, you lose a day. But,

when travelling from east to west you gain a day.

Example: American Samoa is east of the dateline and independent Samoa is west of the dateline, although there is only about 60 nautical miles between the islands. So Wednesday in American Samoa is Thursday in independent Samoa.

24 Hours. When you pass the international date line which is the meridian of 180 longitude, you add a day if going west or subtract a day going east.

The two trenches located on the international date line are the Tonga Trench and the Kermadec Trench. They are located in the South Pacific Ocean.
