1.The longitudinal extension:-
The mainland of India extends between longitudes 68°7′E and 97°25′E. The east-west extent is 2933 km in length.
The longitudinal extension shows that India is located in the Eastern Hemisphere and places can be located with reference to longitudes.
On account of the 30° longitudinal extension (97°25′–68°7′ = 29°18′, approximately 30°) there is a time difference of 2 hours (30°×4 min = 120 mins or 2 hours) in local time between the eastern and western limits of India. However, a standard time (5 hours 30 min ahead of G.M.T.) is adopted according to the local time of the central meridian of the country, 82°30′E.
2.The latitudinal extension:-
The latitudinal extension of the mainland of India is between 8°4′ N and 37°6′ N. The northsouth extension is 3214 km in length.
The latitudinal extension shows that India is located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. The wide latitudinal extent of nearly 30 degrees results in wide variation in climate. The southern parts gets more heat from the sun than the northern parts.
Differences in the duration of day and night is much less in the south of India at lower latitudes, e.g. as in Kanniyakumari. But the difference increases further north, e.g. as in Jammu and Kashmir, as it is further away from the equator.
3.The southern most point:-
The southern-most point of the Indian Union is known as the Indira Point. It is located on the Nicobar Islands, the southern section of the Andaman and Nicobar group of islands. The islands are located in the Bay of Bengal lying to the southeast of India’s mainland.
The Indira Point got submerged under the seawater in December 2004 during the destructive Tsunami that hit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
