Hawaii is about 2,500 miles away from the International Date Line when traveling westward. This distance varies depending on the specific location within Hawaii.
Kailua-Kona is approximately 3,030 miles away from the International Date Line. The International Date Line runs along the 180° meridian in the Pacific Ocean, while Kailua-Kona is located on the western coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Hawaii is approximately 2,500 miles from the International Date Line, which runs through the Pacific Ocean roughly along the 180° line of longitude. Due to this distance, Hawaii is in a different time zone from the date line.
The shortest distance from Seattle to the nearest point on the International Date Lineis 2,090 miles, to the point just west of Wales, Alaska, where the line separates Alaskafrom Siberia.
In a world in which people commonly travel great distances, it is necessary to have some means of keeping track of how the time of day changes in different parts of the world, and it is necessary to have an international date line. There is no absolute necessity for the international date line to be where it is; that was a reasonable choice but not the only possible choice. But we definitely need to have an international date line somewhere. At some point, the far east meets the far west, and one day becomes another day. It has to happen, for our time keeping system to make sense on a global scale. If you just stayed in the same city for your whole life, you would never need an international date line (or a passport). But in the age of jet airplanes, we travel a lot.
Longitude is a measure of how far east or west a point is from the Prime Meridian. The International Date Line is located at roughly 180 degrees longitude, opposite the Prime Meridian. Crossing the International Date Line results in a day change due to the Earth's rotation.

About 3,350 miles in a straight line.
It is 4,357 miles from Birmingham Airport to Honolulu International. ;-)

It is 6.6 to 6.75 metres (FIBA and WNBA).
Hmmm. Assuming the originally defined location of the date line, it would be whatever city is closest to the intersection of the prime meridian, (Greenwich Meridian) and the equator. That point is in the ocean, just south of the northwest extention of the African continent. The city might be in dispute if we take modern re-definitions of the date line into account. The island nation of Kiribati made an extremely large (close to 30 degrees of longitude) change to the date line's location in order to insure that it was the first nation to experience sunrise in the new century. This move is not universally accepted as legitimate.
The flight distance from Richmond International Airport to Honolulu International Airport is 4,844 miles and about 9.5 to 10 hours flying time. It is about the same from Washington Dulles airport.
The International Date Line is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, mainly along the 180th meridian in the Pacific Ocean. It is not marked on the Earth's surface, but you can find it by looking at maps or globes.
