Location

In this Class 9 Geography topic from “India – Size and Location,” students explore India’s position on the globe using latitudes and longitudes. They learn the extent of the Indian mainland, the significance of the Tropic of Cancer and the Standard Meridian of India, and how longitude influences local time. The topic also introduces India’s location in South Asia, its neighbouring countries, surrounding seas, and the geographical importance of its central position in the Indian Ocean.
