International Date Line
The International Date Line is a line of longitude roughly located at 180 degrees. It marks the two different days on Earth, where 24 hours is added or subtracted when one crosses the line.

physical, mechanical, and electronic controls
What are the countries that lie near the international date line?
The International Date Line (IDL) passes through the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly following the 180° longitude but deviating to pass around some territories and island groups (Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, etc). The line deviates from a straight line to keep it from passing through countries such as the USA (Alaska), Russia (Wrangel Island and Chukchi Peninsula), or New Zealand, and island nations such as the Marshall Islands and the Aleutian Islands. This makes all of Russia territory to the west of the IDL and all of the USA to the east.
Is Japan east or west of the international date line?
Since the earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can reach anywhere you want
to go from where you are by starting out in either one of a pair of opposite directions.
Starting from any longitude on earth, you can go east or you can go west, and reach
Japan.
Starting from any point on the International Date Line, your trip to Japan will be quite a bit
shorter if you start out going West.
How do you stand on the international date line?
That would be tough. The IDL has intentionally been zigged and zagged to avoid
having it cross any land. The only way would seem to be to have a ship straddle
the line when it gets there, and hold in place while everybody comes on deck to
plant one foot on each side of the line.

Hope that helps :)
Who is the priminister of UK in this time?
As of November 2021, Boris Johnson is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
A line intersect is a point on a line where another line or object crosses the line.
The International Date Line is curved to accommodate for political boundaries and to prevent crossing it within the same country. This ensures that neighboring countries maintain the same day and time. The curve also allows for a more even distribution of landmasses across time zones.
How many degree is the angle from prime meridian to international date line?
It varies, because the International Dateline doesn't follow a single meridian.
There are several zigs and zags in it. But in the spirit of your question, the
Dateline is nominally directly opposite the Prime Meridian, at 180° longitude.

What would happen if the international date line ran through the middle of a school?
im sure that nobody would even build a school so that the international date line would pass trough it if a person did happen to do that the schools schedual would most likely be very unorganized due to students walking past it so they would try to cheat out of being tardy or late to class it'll be a very awkward situation for principals and other school supervisiors
What is the distance from the prime meridian to the international date line?
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.
i am going out with someone right now. its easy to get a date if you have a sense of humor your smart and your out going
Almost but not exactly ! Give that man a silver dollar anyway !
It's not the International Dateline that delineates the boundary of the hemisphere.
It's the meridian of 180° longitude. The IDL almost follows the meridian, but it
has some zigs and zags in it, in order to avoid splitting any one state, country,
or island group into two different calendar dates.
The Aleutian chain of islands ... part of Alaska ... crosses the meridian of 180°
longitude, putting part of the chain in the eastern hemisphere. But the IDL was
wiggled around the Aleutians, to avoid putting part of Alaska into yesterday.
So you have almost nailed exactly what you need to know in order to win the
best nerd's bar bet of all time:
Question:
What states in the USA are farthest north, farthest south, farthest east, and
farthest west ?
Answer:
Hawaii is the farthest south, and Alaska is all of the other three.
Good work !
Is the International Date line of japan and Hawaii the same?
The International Date Line is the same for all nations.
The prime meridian passes through what 3 states?
The Prime Meridian passes through England, France, Spain, Algeria, Mali,
Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana, as well as through Antarctica and several
major bodies of water. It doesn't pass through any of the USA, Canada, or
any other country in North America or South America.
Is Chicago in the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian crosses Europe, Africa, and Antarctica. The longitude of
every point on it is zero.
Chicago is in the middle of North America. The longitude here at my house
2 miles north of the Chicago city limits is 87.7214° west.
By the shortest possible route, we're 3,311 miles from the Prime meridian here.
tell him that your mom told you that you have to stay home and clean your room becuz you didnt the day before and if you go out then you will be grounded for three weeks.
