Geographical location of India
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 7 years, 10 months ago

  • India is located in the Northern hemisphere.
  • The Tropic of Cancer (23º30’N) passes almost halfway through the country.
  • From south to north, the mainland of India extends between 8º4’N and 37º6’N latitudes.
  • From west to east, India extends between 68º7’E and 97º25’E longitudes.
  • Due to a great longitudinal extent of about 29º, there could be a wide difference in local time between places located at two extreme points of India.
  • It is known that the local time changes by four minutes for every one degree of longitude. As such, the difference between these two points would be of about two hours. So, the sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than in Gujarat.
