Question

In which Hemisphere does India lie?

Answer 1

Hint:In geography and cartography, the hemispheres of Earth refer to any division of the globe into two hemispheres

Complete answer:
The most common divisions of hemisphere are preferred by latitudinal or longitudinal markers.
The Northern Hemisphere contains North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, the northern two-thirds of Africa, and most of Asia. The Southern Hemisphere contains most of South America, one-third of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and some Asian islands.

India lies in the Northern hemisphere, with the mainland extending between latitudes 8°4’N and 37°6’N and longitudes 68°7’E and 97°25’E.

The Tropic of Cancer (23° 30’N) divides the country into almost two equal parts, where the Lakshadweep islands lie in the Arabian Sea to the southwest of the mainland and the Andaman and Nicobar islands lie in the Bay of Bengal to the southeast of the mainland.
From south to north, the mainland of India extends between 8°4’N and 37°6’N latitudes.
From west to east, India extends between 68°7’E and 97°25’E longitudes.
Due to great longitudinal extent of about 29°, there could be wide differences in local time of places located at two extreme points of India. As such, the difference between these two points would be about two hours.

Note:India lies to the east of Prime meridian between the longitudes 687´E to 97025 E. Important lines like Tropic of Cancer, 23030´N and Indian Standard Meridian,82030 E pass through India. Hence, all this proves that India lies in the North-eastern hemisphere. s in the northern hemisphere.
