Can someone please explain the International Date Line to me? Obviously I understand time zones but how can there be a place where you always switch days?

So because this is how it works, there are always two places on Earth where you can go to "switch days" - one of them is crossing the line where it's currently midnight, which is constantly moving (which happens automatically if you sit still)
-
The other is to go across the IDL and go "back" into yesterday At the exact instant that it's midnight on the IDL, yesterday is over everywhere and the whole Earth is briefly in the same day Then at 12:00:01 tomorrow starts and begins slowly moving across the world
