Why is the international Dateline adopted? |
|
Answer» In order to solve the problem of time, which travels around the world, 180 meridians is taken as the International Dateline. The nautical date line, not the same as the IDL, is a de jure construction determined by international agreement. It is the result of the 1917 Anglo-French Conference on Time-keeping at Sea, which recommended that all ships, both military and civilian, adopt hourly standard time zones on the high seas. |
