$<b><u>These places almost have the same duration of days and night. The circle of illumination divides the equator in two equal parts. The days and nights are therefore of the same duration at the equator. As Kanyakumari is quite near the equator , the day and night difference is hardly one hour there but as we move away from the equator towards the poles, the variation in the duration of day and night become greater. It is because of the unequal division of the parallel of latitude by the circle of illumination. Kashmir is over 30 degree away from the equator and so the difference in duration of day and night is over 4 hours there .</u></b>$

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
