Hey mate here's something which can help you ,
Latitudes and Longitudes are imaginary lines used to determine the location of a place on earth.The shape of the earth is ‘Geoid’. And the location of a place on the earth can be mentioned in terms of latitudes and longitudes.Example: The location of New Delhi is 28° N, 77° E.
Latitude
Latitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth’s surface, measured in degrees from the center of the earth.As the earth is slightly flattened at the poles, the linear distance of a degree of latitude at the pole is a little longer than that at the equator.For example at the equator (0°) it is 68.704 miles, at 45° it is 69.054 miles and at the poles it is 69.407 miles. The average is taken as 69 miles (111km).1 mile = 1.607 km.
Longitude
Longitude is an angular distance, measured in degrees along the equator east or west of the Prime (or First) Meridian.On the globe longitude is shown as a series of semi-circles that run from pole to pole passing through the equator. Such lines are also calledUnlike the equator which is centrally placed between the poles, any meridian could have been taken to begin the numbering of longitude. It was finally decided in 1884, by international agreement, to choose as the zero meridian the one which passes through the Royal Astronomical Observatory at Greenwich, near London.This is the Prime Meridian (0°) from which all other meridians radiate eastwards and westwards up to 180°.As the parallels of latitude become shorter poleward, so the meridians of longitude, which converge at the poles, enclose a narrower space.They have one very important function, they determine local time in relation to G.M.T. or Greenwich Mean Time, which is sometimes referred to as World Time.

India is lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere the main land extends between latitudes 8°4' N and 37°6' N and longitudes 68°7' E and 97°25' E.
The tropic of cancer ( 23° 30'N) divides the country into almost two eqaul parts.
