Answer 1

Latitude:

1. The measurement or quantification of distance from north or south of the Equator is called latitude.
2. It is calculated using 180 imaginary lines running east-west, parallel to the Equator, around the Earth. Parallels are the names given to these lines.

The Tropic of Cancer:

1. The Tropic of Cancer is a 23.50-degree angle invisible line. It runs through the Centre of India, north of the Equator to the south.
2. The Tropic of Cancer crosses through 17 countries, with India being one of them.
3. The Tropic of Cancer (23°30'N) stretches or covers nearly the entire length of India.
4. It runs through the heart of India, north of the Equator.
5. The Tropic of Cancer runs through eight Indian states.
6. The Indian mainland stretches between 8°4'N and 37°6'N latitudes from south to north.
7. From west to east, India stretches between the longitudes of 68°7'E and 97°25'E.
