Answer:
India lies to the north of the equator between 6° 44′ and 35° 30′ north latitude and 68° 7′ and 97° 25′ east longitude.
Explanation:
Longitudinal Extent- Significance
The longitudinal extent of India is large. Following are its implecations:
The longitudinal extent affects the local time for different states in our country.
From Gujarat to Arunachala Pradesh, there is a time lag of 2 hours.
The local time of a place depends on the longitude which passes through it.
Latitudinal Extent- Significance
The Tropic of Cancer divides India into almost two equal halves.
While the northern part lies in the temperate zone, the southern part is closer to the Equator and lies in the tropical zone.
