Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is about 30o. The North-South extent is 3214 km and East-West extent is 2933 km. The distance between any two lines of longitude is maximum at the equator and goes on decreasing as one goes from the equator to the poles.
Detailed explanation-2: -The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is 30 degrees. Then why is the North South extent longer than the East West extent?
Detailed explanation-3: -Since India lies above the equator, an extent of 30 degrees by longitudes gives a lesser extent in terms of breadth. However, the same count of latitudes give a length of bigger value as they are all evenly spaced from each other.
