Question

Why is the difference between the durations of day and night hardly felt at Kanniyakumari?

  1. It lies in the northernmost part of India
  2. It has high mountains
  3. It lies in a desert region
  4. It is near the equator

Answer:

Option D: It is near the equator

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “It is near the equator”.

The difference between the durations of day and night is hardly felt at Kanniyakumari because it is near the equator. As the equator receives the direct sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day and night. But Kashmir is far away from the equator.
