Q4). What is the international Date Line?
Ans.
This us an imaginary line on the Earth that roughly follow the 180 degree line of Longitude.
It is exactly Opposite to the Prime Meridian.
Countries lying on the Eastern side of the International Date Line are One day Ahead of the countries lying on the Western side.
Travel East to West lose one day.
Travel West to East Gain one day.
To Avoid confusion, this line has been drawn in a Zigzag manner so that it does not pass through any country.
