It is an imaginary line that is drawn through the Pacific Ocean where the calendar day begins. In your case, when traveling east, 24 hours is subtracted from the current time.
EX: If the local time just east of the line is 5:00 AM on July 11, 2011 the local time is 5:00AM on July 10, 2011
Hope this helps :)
Crossing the International Date Line when traveling from Rarotonga to Auckland is significant because it results in a change of date. Rarotonga, in the Cook Islands, is located just east of the Date Line, while Auckland, New Zealand, is just west of it. Therefore, when a traveler moves from Rarotonga to Auckland, they effectively "gain" a day, meaning if they leave Rarotonga on a Monday, they will arrive in Auckland on the following day, Tuesday. This shift can affect travel plans, scheduling, and time management for travelers.
You either gain or lose a day - depending on which direction you're travelling.
NZ002 leaves Auckland at 22:30 and arrives in London Heathrow at 11.00am (1 day later due to crossing the international date line).
That depends on where you are travelling from and if you are crossing any international borders. For example, if you are travelling within the U.S, you do not need a passport to go to El Paso. However, if you are travelling from Canada to El Paso, a valid Canadian passport is required.
During the course of that trip, you cross the Dateline going west. Whenever one crosses the Dateline going west, he leaves the time on his clock unchanged, but he advances his calendar one day. That is, if his calendar reads July 24, he cranks it ahead to July 25.
Since the Earth is spherical (shaped like a ball), you can head out of Rarotonga in either direction, either east or west, and eventually wind up in Auckland. The trip is quite a bit shorter, though, if you travel westward, and that will take you across the International Date Line. At the moment of crossing the line, the right things to do are to advance your calendar by one day, and turn your clock ahead 24 hours. For example, if it happens to be 3:00 PM on Tuesday, then it becomes 3:00 PM on Wednesday when you cross the line. In reality, there's no need to make the adjustment exactly as you cross the line. Passengers typically make the change when they board the ship or plane, or when they disembark at the end of the trip. As long as you're actually at sea or in the air, it really doesn't matter much what day it is.
it will ruin everything!
Crossing the international date line. or By travelling on a vehicle called "Wednesday". and why do you waste your time doing dumb riddles?

Traveling from Auckland to Los Angeles, you will turn your watch back 24 hours, andtake the last page you tore off of your calendar and glue it back on, allowing you tolive the same date all over again. You will most likely not make the same mistakesagain, but will have the opportunity to make new ones.
