What are the implications of India'slatitudinal extent?How far is Arunachal Pradesh befitting namefor our easternmost state? |
|
Answer» The land of India extends from 8 degrees 4 minutes 28 seconds N to 37 degrees 17 minutes 53 seconds N. The latitudinal extent of India is nearly 30 degrees which is huge. The large latitudinal extent plays a major role in the duration of day and night at different places. Yes, it is surely agreed that Arunachal Pradesh is a befitting name for our eastern most state. As the word “Arun” means Sun and “Achal” means rise. Being the eastern most state of India, the sun rises here first than any other state in the country. For this purpose it is also called the place of rising sun. So, the state by itself is a befitting name. |
