Write down the Latitudinal and Longitudinal location of India.
Answers
ANSWER:
India is located to the north of the Equator between the latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E.
EXPLANATION:
India lies entirely in the eastern (east of Prime Meridian) and northern (north of equator line) hemispheres. The mainland of India spreads from 8°4'28"N to 37°17'53"N latitudes and from 68°7'53"E to 97°24'47"E longitudes. The latitudinal/longitudinal spread of India is around 30°that is, the same. The southernmost point -the Indira Point in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands has coordinates at 6°45'N.
The latitudinal spread of "India from Kashmir" in the north (N) to "Kanyakumari in the south" (S) is around 3,214 km. India's longitudinal spread from the "Rann of Kutch" (Gujarat) in the west (W) to "Arunachal Pradesh in the east" (E) is around 2,933 km
