Hey mate,
The longitudinal extent of India is 68 degree 7' E and 97 degree 25' E whereas the latitudinal extent of India is 8 degree 4' N and 36 degree 7' N. 1.Longitudinal extent influences theclimate in the region. 2. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night as one moves from south to north
Though the latitudinal & longitudinal extent of India is about 30°, yet the north-south extent is greater than the east-west extent because the distance between any 2 lines of longitude is maximum at the equator & it goes on decreasing as 1 moves north or south of the equator,whereas the distance between 2 lines
