Answer:
India is one of the ancient civilisations in the world. It has moved forward, displaying remarkable progress in the field of agriculture, industry, technology and overall economic development. India has also contributed significantly to the making of world history. In CBSE Notes Class 9 Geography Chapter 1 on India – Size and Location, you will learn about India’s extent and standard meridian, India’s contact with the world through International Highway of Trade and Commerce and India’s neighbours. So, go through these CBSE Class 9 Social Science notes and explore these topics in detail.
Location
India is lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere, as shown in the figure below.
The land extends between latitudes 8°4’N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7’E and 97°25’E.
The Tropic of Cancer (23° 30’N) divides India into almost two equal parts.
Size
India’s total area accounts for about 2.4% of the total geographical area of the world. Thus, it is the 7th largest country in the world, by its size.
India has a land boundary of about 15,200 km.
The total length of the coastline of the mainland is 7,516.6 km including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep.
India is bounded by the mountains in the northwest, north and northeast. South of about 22° north latitude, it begins to taper and extends towards the Indian Ocean, dividing it into two seas, the Arabian Sea on the west and the Bay of Bengal on its east.
Time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30’E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for India.
The map below shows the Extent of India and Standard Meridian.
