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: -Both the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India’s mainland is about 30°.
Detailed explanation-3: -The east west extent appears smaller than north south extent due to the fact that latitudes are equidistant from each other but distance between longitudes decreases as one moves from equator to poles.
Detailed explanation-4: -India is a vast country. Lying entirely in the Northern hemisphere (Figure 1.1) the main land extends between latitudes 8°4’N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7’E and 97°25’E.
