Businessman's Travel from Los Angeles to Beijing

A businessman from Los Angeles is scheduled to attend a meeting in Beijing on October 10th at 18:00 local time. He departed from Los Angeles on a plane at 7:00 on October 10th. Additionally, it is mentioned that he crossed the 180th meridian.

To calculate the arrival time in Beijing, we need to consider the time difference between Los Angeles and Beijing, as well as the duration of the flight. Los Angeles is in the Pacific Time Zone (UTC-7), while Beijing is in the China Standard Time Zone (UTC+8). The time difference between the two cities is 15 hours.

Given that the businessman departed from Los Angeles at 7:00 on October 10th, we can add the flight duration to determine the arrival time in Beijing. However, the duration of the flight is not provided in the question, so we cannot provide an exact arrival time without that information.

Regarding the mention of crossing the 180th meridian, it is important to note that the 180th meridian is the International Date Line. When crossing this line from west to east, the date advances by one day. However, since the businessman is traveling from Los Angeles to Beijing, which is east of the 180th meridian, the date does not change. Therefore, the date remains October 10th throughout the journey.

Unfortunately, without the flight duration, we cannot provide an exact arrival time in Beijing. It is recommended that the businessman checks the flight schedule or contacts the airline for the specific details of the flight duration and arrival time.

Note: The information provided in this response is based on the given context and general knowledge. It is always advisable to double-check specific flight details and consult official sources for accurate and up-to-date information.
