Answer:
These places do not have the same duration
of day and night. The circle of illumination divides the Equator into two equal
parts. The days and nights are, therefore, of the same duration at the equator.
As Kanyakumari is quite near the equator the day-night difference is hardly one
hour there. But as we move away from the equator towards the poles, the
variations in the duration of day and night becomes greater. It is because of
the unequal division of the parallels of latitude by the circle of
illumination. Kashmir is over 30° away from the equator and so the difference
in duration of day and night is over four hours there.
