Three Dates at the Same Time
Consistently somewhere in the range of 10:00 and 10:59 UTC, three different schedule dates are being used at the same time on The planet.
For instance, May 2 at 10:30 UTC, is 23:30 (11:30 pm) on May 1 in American Samoa (UTC−11), 06:30 (6:30 am) on May 2 in New York (UTC-4), and 00:30 (12:30 am) on May 3 in Kiritimati (UTC+14).
International Date Line : Interesting Facts
The international date line, laid out in 1884, goes through the mid-Pacific Sea and generally follows a 180-degree-longitude north-south line on the Earth. It is found most of the way all over the planet from the prime meridian — the 0-degree longitude queue in Greenwich, Britain.
The worldwide date line works as a “line of demarcation” isolating two back-to-back schedule dates. At the point when you cross the date line, you become a person who jumps through time of sorts! Cross toward the west, and it’s one day after the fact; cross back, and you’ve “travelled once again into the past.”
In this article, we shall know about it more. Let’s dive right in!
