why all ice in shimla doesn't melt even in the summer when temperature is 10 degree c?
Answers
We all know that as we go higher, it gets colder. Then it stands to reason, any two places with the same altitude will be as cold as each other.
But that isn’t the case! Ooty and Shimla, two famous hill stations in India, are at similar altitudes but experience very different temperatures.
Shimla and Ooty are both famous hill stations in India. Shimla is a city in North India, at an elevation of 2276 meters above mean sea level. Ooty is in South India, rising to 2240 meters above mean sea level. Despite very similar attitudes, it is much colder in Shimla than in Ooty.
Looking at this from a broader perspective, we are always taught that as we go higher, it gets colder.
Shimla, on the other hand, lies on latitude 31°N and is more than twice as far from the equator as Ooty: 3460 km. This reduces the angle between the sun’s rays and the surface, making Shimla colder than Ooty.
