What is the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India
Answers
Answer:
India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere (Figure 1.1) the main land extends between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E.
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:
1. The latitudinal extent of India from the north end Kashmir to south end Kanniyakumari is 37°6′N to 8°4′N
2. The longitudinal extent of India from west end Gujarat to east end Arunachal Pradesh is 68°7′E to 97°25′E.
3. On calculating both of these extents we get to that these are approximate 30°.
4. The North-South extent is 3214 km and the East-West extent is 2933 km.
5. The longitudinal extent of India is 68 degrees 7′ E and 97 degrees 25′ E whereas the latitudinal extent of India is 8 degree 4′ N and 36 degrees 7′ N.
6. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night as one moves from south to north.
7. Longitudinal extent influences the climate in the region. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night as one moves from south to north.
