Why international date line is not a straight line like other longitudes?

Answered by admin @



The international date line is an imaginary zig zag line on the surface of the earth roughly following the 180 degree meridian. crossing the date line causes the date to be changed exactly by one day. crossing the line from East to West, one loses a day.
