Detailed explanation-1: -Answers. Kanyakumari is located at the southern tip of India So, there we find the least difference in duration between day time and night time.
Detailed explanation-2: -The day and night are nearly of the same duration at the equator. 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kanyakumari’s latitudinal line is nearer to equator whereas Kashmir is far away from the equator. iv. Difference between duration of day and night in Kanyakumari is around 45 minutes whereas the same in Kashmir is 3.5 hours.
Detailed explanation-4: -Kanyakumari has the least difference in the duration between day time and night time. Explanation: The difference in day and night is generally observed when one moves away from the equator because the amount of incoming solar radiation decreases with an increase in latitudes.
