(i) Places near the Equator experience almost equal duration of day and night as the Sun shines overhead throughout the year.
(i) Places near the Equator experience almost equal duration of day and night as the Sun shines overhead throughout the year. (ii) Going away from Equator
(i) Places near the Equator experience almost equal duration of day and night as the Sun shines overhead throughout the year. (ii) Going away from Equator towards the Poles, the durations of day and night go on differing
For example:
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.
