Answer:
1. Ans. India lies in the eastern hemisphere with reference to the Prime meridian. India lies in the east of the Prime Meridian, between 68°7' E and 97°25'E. India has accepted 82°30' E longitude as the Standard Meridian of India
2.The lines of latitude are not all equal in length. It is because they are complete circles that remain equidistant from each other. Tthe lines of latitude vary in size from the longest at the equator to the smallest, which are just single points, at the North and South Poles.
5.lines of longitudes also called as parallels because the lines parallel, or run in the same direction as the equator. ... Lines of Longitudeintersect the equator at right angles but end at the North and the South Poles. Lines of Longitude are also called meridians.
