Why does one feel a greater difference in the duration of day and night between
Kanyakumari than in Kashmir.
Answers
Explanation:
As Kanyakumari is quite near the equator at 8°4'N the day-night difference is hardly one hour there, and therefore, the duration of day and night is hardly felt at Kanyakumari. ... Kashmir is over 30° away from the equator and so the difference in duration of day and night is more there and we feel that difference

Answer:
The day and night are nearly of the same duration at the equator. As Kanyakumari is quite near the equator at 8°4'N the day-night difference is hardly one hour there, and therefore, the duration of day and night is hardly felt at Kanyakumari. On the other hand, as we move away from the equator to the poles the variations in duration of day and night become greater. Kashmir is over 30° away from the equator and so the difference in duration of day and night is more there and we feel that difference.
Kanyakumari and Kashmir are located at different latitudes and at different locations from the equator. The day and night are nearly of the same duration at the equator but as we move away from the equator to the poles, the variations in duration of day and night become greater. Lengths of days and nights in the poles vary so greatly that they have a 6-month day(during summers) and a 6-month night(during winters). On the other hand, the equator has a fixed 12-hour day and night, and their lengths are not influenced by seasons. This is due to the fact that the Earth's axis is rotated.
Kashmir is at 37°N latitude, which means that it is 37 degrees away from the equator or it is 37 degrees away from the area which receives direct sunlight. This difference is of about 5hrs in Kashmir while as Kanyakumari is quite near the equator at 8°4N & the day-night difference is hardly one hour there. So, there is a big day-night difference in Kashmir while the duration of day and night is hardly felt at Kanyakumari.
This is the reason that the difference between the durations of day and night is hardly felt in Kanyakumari but not so in Kashmir?
