mention the latitudinal extent of india explain its significance
Answers
Explanation:
the latitudinal extents of the main land is about 30 degree. It influences the duration of day and night as one moves from north to south . It influences the duration of day and night as one moves from north to south. The Tropic of Cancer divides India into almost two equal parts.
Answer:
India lies to the north of the equator between 6° 44′ and 35° 30′ north latitude and 68° 7′ and 97° 25′ east great circle.
(i) The Tropic of Cancer divides the country into 2 equal elements. Thus, Republic of India is set in tropical and temperate zones.
(ii) The northern half of Republic of India has high annual vary of temperature whereas the southern part has low annual vary of temperature.
(iii) The angular distance extent influences the period of the day and night as we have a tendency to move from south to north.
The distance between latitudes remains a similar throughout however the gap between the 2 longitudes reduces as touched toward poles
The distance between 2 latitudes is constant that's 111 kilometres however the gap between 2 longitudes is 111 kilometres at the equator and reduces to zero at the poles.
