Originally Answered: What is the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India?

✧ Latitudes are imaginary lines drawn on the earth which are full circles and run in east-west direction.

✧ Equator is the most important latitude which divides the earth into two equal halves : Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere. It is the biggest latitude.

✧ Equator is 0° latitude. In the north of 0°Latitude, there are 90 latitudes and in the south also 90 latitudes are marked.

✧ After a Northern latitude, letter N is added and in the same manner when we mention a Southern latitude, letter S is added to show its location in Northern or Southern Hemisphere.

✧ 90°N Latitude is a point, not a circle, and known as North Pole. In the same way, 90°S Latitude is also a point, not a circle, and known as South Pole.

✧ So there are total 179 longitudes on earth. All latitudes are marked parallel to each other so they are also called parallels.The gap between two degrees is divided into 60
