Solution

The correct option is B Latitudinal extent
  • The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night as one moves from south to north.
  • The length of day and night depends on whether the place is receiving direct sun rays or slanting rays.
  • Places on the equator receive the direct rays of the sun all year round and hence have equal days and night.
  • Whereas for places north and south equator, the duration varies according to seasons due to the tilt of the earth.
