   Answer: (3) International Date Line

   సమాధానం: (3) అంతర్జాతీయ దిన రేఖ

   The International Date Line, roughly along the 180° meridian, is where the calendar date changes: crossing it westward adds a day and crossing eastward subtracts a day. The Prime Meridian (0°) only fixes the reference for GMT.
