If you are asking about the difference between the length of day and night, then here is the answer of your question.
The day and night are nearly of the same duration at the Equator. As we go towards the southern part of India, the difference between the length of day and night decreases because we are heading towards the Equator. For example, Kanyakumari is situated near the Equator at 8° 4' N. Here in Kanyakumari, the difference between the length of day and night is only 45 minutes. We can say that the day and night are almost of equal duration in Kanyakumari. But as we move away from the Equator towards North, the difference between the length of day and night increases. So, the variation in day and night is felt considerably. For example, Jammu and Kashmir is over 30° away from the Equator and so there is difference in duration of day and night is more in Jammu and Kashmir.
