Answer:

If you are travelling westward, you gain a day, and if you are travelling eastward, you lose a day.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, if a traveler moves eastward across the Pacific Ocean from Wake Island to the Hawaiian Islands on June 25, they will jump backward to June 24 as soon as they cross the IDL.

I hope this answer will help you. :)
