Just to clarify the Class 9 NCERT perspective - the official latitudinal extent is 8°4'N to 37°6'N, covering about 29 degrees of latitude. Some important implications: Tropic of Cancer (23°30'N) passes almost through the middle of India Large seasonal variation in day length between north and south Diverse vegetation zones from tropical rainforests to alpine meadows Multiple climate zones within one countryThe exact coordinates are: Southern tip: 8°4'N latitude (mainland), 6°45'N if including islands Northern tip: 37°6'N latitudeThis extensive range contributes to India's biological and cultural diversity. Make sure to draw the map showing these points in your exams!

For Class 9 geography, here's the exact answer you need:India's latitudinal extent is from 8°4'N to 37°6'N. This means: Southernmost point: Indira Point (formerly Pygmalion Point) in Great Nicobar Island at 6°45'N (though officially recorded as 8°4'N for the mainland extent) Northernmost point: Indira Col in Jammu and Kashmir at 37°6'NThe total north-south distance is approximately 3,214 kilometers. This extensive latitude range is why India experiences varied climatic conditions - from tropical in the south to temperate and alpine in the north. Remember to mention both the degree values and the significance of this extent in your answers for full marks!
