Answer to Question #107358 in Human geography for Mason Behrenbrinker

Question

If you leave Shanghai, China on a Monday traveling across the International Date Line to Los Angeles, California, what day will it be on your arrival?

Answer 1

For instance, we leave Shanghai at 6 am in the morning. The road takes 15 hours in total (including the taxi or buses and the plane). Since LA is 15 hours behind Shanghai, we will arrive to LA at 6 am that same day (Monday).
