The line at which a day is lost or gained is called:

  • A.International Gain line
  • B.International loss line
  • C.Line of Control day and night
  • D.International Date line

Answer: D

It is the International Date Line.

It runs roughly along the 180° meridian, deviating to keep island groups and countries on one side. Crossing it westward you add a day; crossing eastward you subtract one - without which a traveller circling the globe would return a day out.
