∙ 12y agoAs you go higher in the atmosphere, the pressure of the air reduces. It's at its maximum near the ground, and zero in space. But under the Ideal Gas Law, in a gas, if all else remains equal, temperature and pressure are directly related. In other words, if pressure goes down, so does temperature. In meterology, this leads to the adiabatic lapse rate. To a first approximation, if you go up 100 metres, you will loose 0.638 degrees C in temperature. This holds true all the way up to the tropopause, which is boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere. The troposphere is where we live and the weather occurs.
So to cut a long story short, its colder up high.
But when air gets colder, it can hold less water. Clouds form and water falls out of the cloud. If its cold enough the water will fall as snow or ice.
The mountains that arc across the north of India are called the Himalaya, and contains the highest peaks on Earth, including Mt Everest, (8048 metres). At this height, the air will be 51 degrees colder than at sea level. If its 30 C in New Delhi, expect -20 on the top of Everest!

∙ 12y agoSnow-covered mountains can be found in India along the equator due to their high elevation. The Himalayas, which run through northern India, include some of the highest peaks in the world, such as Mount Everest. These high-altitude mountains experience cold temperatures that allow for snow accumulation, despite their proximity to the equator.
India is located north of the equator.
Yes, parts of south India are near the equator but most of the region is situated slightly north of the equator. The southernmost point of mainland India, Kanyakumari, is approximately 8 degrees north of the equator.
India is located north of the Equator, between the Tropic of Cancer (around 23.5 degrees north latitude) and the Equator.
Yes, the equator does not pass through Allahabad, India. Allahabad is located approximately 25.5 degrees north of the equator.
-- With reference to the equator, that is, regarding latitude only, India is located entirely in the northern hemisphere. -- With reference to the Prime Meridian, that is, regarding longitude only, India is located entirely in the eastern hemisphere.

India is located north of the equator.
No, it does not. The equator passes through the Indian Ocean south of Sri Lanka.
Yes, parts of south India are near the equator but most of the region is situated slightly north of the equator. The southernmost point of mainland India, Kanyakumari, is approximately 8 degrees north of the equator.
The Equator is located approximately 1,118 miles south of India in the southern hemisphere. It passes through countries in Africa, South America, and the Pacific Ocean.
The influence of India's climate is because India is the equator which makes it more hotter near India is to the equator. Hopes it helps!
Malaysia is closest to the equator followed by India then Colombia
India is located north of the Equator, between the Tropic of Cancer (around 23.5 degrees north latitude) and the Equator.

Yes, the equator does not pass through Allahabad, India. Allahabad is located approximately 25.5 degrees north of the equator.
No, no part of India is south of the equator.
South Africa as it is on the southern most tip of Africa and south of the equator. China and India are both part of Asia which for the most part and the mainland is north of the equator although it is closer to the equator than South Africa.
