The International Date Line is NOMINALLY the meridian of 180 degrees longitude (both east and west).
The actual date line has been defined with a few bumps and jogs in it that depart from 180 degrees, in order to avoid cutting through island nations. (That would have put two different calendar dates in the same country.)

∙ 7y agoThe International Date Line is located approximately along the 180° line of longitude, so it does not have a specific latitude. It is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.

∙ 9y agoIt doesn't follow a single meridian of longitude all the way from pole to pole.
Nominally it should be 180 degrees, but it zigs and zags away from that meridian
in many places, in order to avoid splitting any single state, country, or group of
islands into two different calendar dates.

∙ 9y agoThen International date line is neither a line of longitude or a line of latitude. It runs in a general north-south line based in the 180 degree line of longitude. However, it is not straight like a longitude line. That is because some islands nations as well as Russia didn't to split their country with the International Date line (that would cause many issues). So, the International Date line deviates from 180 degrees longitude to avoid cutting through any nations.

No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
No, the International Date Line is not used to measure latitude. It marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next, mostly following the 180° line of longitude. Latitude is measured north or south from the equator.
The International Date Line runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).
The Equator is the imaginary line that runs east and west half way between the north and south poles. The equator has a latitude of 0 degrees which divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. The Equator is one of the five named circles of latitude on Earth. Going from North to South, the circles of latitude are called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle.
Travelling west the international date line is further west. The answer is no
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
International date line
the international date line is 60 degrees. the prime meridan is 0.
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
The International Dateline crosses ALL parallels of latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel of roughly 23.5° south latitude.
No, the International Date Line is not used to measure latitude. It marks the boundary between one calendar day and the next, mostly following the 180° line of longitude. Latitude is measured north or south from the equator.
The International Dateline completely crosses both the northern and southern hemispheres. There's no position (latitude) in either hemisphere that's not on that line.
The International Date Line runs primarily along the 180 degree longitudinal line. The Equator runs along 0 degrees latitude. The lines intersect along in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (0 degrees North, 180 degrees West).
The International Date Line is a line that joins the north and south poles,and passes through all latitudes.There are an infinite number of correct answers to the question. Any numberbetween negative 90° and positive 90° is one of them.
No. The prime meridian if on the side of the earth not the center. The prime meridian is the 0 latitude line. On the other side you have the 180 degree latitude line, sometimes called the international date line.
180 degrees, in either the east or west direction, at any latitude.
