Question

Although the latitudinal and longitudinal extent is almost same then why the distance covered from north to south is more than the distance covered from east to west?

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is about 30

o

. The North-South extent is 3214 km and East-West extent is 2933 km. The distance between any two lines of longitude is maximum at the equator and goes on decreasing as one goes from the equator to the poles. The distance between lines of latitude remains the same at all latitudes. India is away from the equator. So, the lines of longitude come nearer and the East-West distance becomes less

Answer 2

The length of the  longitude of the earth remains the same whereas in case of latitude the extent of the latitude decreases as we move from the equator to the pole

Explanation:

• so if at a particular place the length of the latitude and longitude is same hence if we go towards the equator then at that particular place the length of the latitude will be more than the length of the longitude.  length

• This is because of the difference in the length of the latitude and the changes in the length. However the longitude rance from north to south direction and have a constant length
