Question

In which hemisphere is Jharkhand situated

Options:
A .  East
B .  West
C .  North
D .  South
E .  None of these
Answer: Option C
Jharkhand is located in the northern hemisphere of the earth. The earth is divided into two equal parts by the equator, which is an imaginary line encircling the earth, midway between the North and South Poles. This line divides the earth into the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere.
Jharkhand is a state in eastern India and is located in the northern hemisphere at approximately 23.5 degrees North latitude and 85.3 degrees East longitude. This places it in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent, which is situated entirely in the Northern Hemisphere.
To further clarify, the Northern Hemisphere comprises all the areas of the earth that lie to the north of the equator. The regions located in the Northern Hemisphere experience summer between June to August and winter between December to February. The Northern Hemisphere is home to most of the world's land mass and the majority of the earth's population.
In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere comprises all the areas of the earth that lie to the south of the equator. The regions located in the Southern Hemisphere experience summer between December to February and winter between June to August. The Southern Hemisphere is mainly composed of water bodies and is home to only about one-tenth of the earth's population.
Hence, the correct answer to the given question is option C, North.
