7 What is the International Date Line and why is it important?
The International Date Line is a special time zone boundary, most of it following the line of longitude 180°. The International Date Line sits on the 180º line of longitude in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and is the imaginary line that separates two consecutive calendar days.

8 Immediately to the left of the International Date Line (the date) is always one day ahead of the date (or day) immediately to the right of the International Date Line in the Western Hemisphere.

During the summer, when the Sun rises earlier, we make use of the extra daylight by shifting our clocks by one hour--e.g., what was labeled 6 am in the winter is now called 7 am. Each day people get up earlier (also go to sleep earlier) and enjoy sunlight for a longer time. We will Fall Back an hour on November 7th! Yay! An extra hour of REST!!!! 
