Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The International Date Line is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface. It's located roughly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. One side of the line is one day ahead of the other side. When you cross the line from east to west, you "lose" a day, and when you cross from west to east, you "gain" a day. It helps to define where each new day begins and ends. The line zigzags to avoid dividing countries and islands, and it follows the 180-degree longitude line. It is important for keeping time and coordinating activities globally.

Hope it helps !
