Longitudinal extent: The measure of the distance longitudinally is referred to as longitudinal extent. The longitudes run from the north pole to the south pole and so from top of the earth to the bottom.
The distance between two longitudes is referred to as longitudinal extent.
Latitudinal extent: The measure of the distance latitudinally is referred to as latitudinal extent. The latitudes run from east to west and so from leftof the earth to the right.
The distance between two latitudes is referred to as latitudinal extent.
Longitudinal and latitudinal extent of Brazil: Brazil being the 4th largest country in the world has an area 4,319 kilometers from east to west (34 degrees 47 minutes 30 seconds E to 73 degree 59 minutes 32 seconds W longitude) and extends 4,395 kilometers from north to south (5 degrees 16 minutes 20 seconds N to 33 degrees 44 minutes 32 seconds S latitude).
Longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India: India being one of the biggest countries in Asia has an area of 2933 kilometers from east to west (68 degrees 7 minutes E to 97 degrees 25 minutes E longitude) and extends 3214 kilometers from North to South (37 degrees 6 minutes N to 8 degrees 4 minutes N latitude)
The difference in the longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India and Brazil is ≅ 10 degrees with Brazil being longer.
