The astronomical location of an area turns out to have an influence on the lives of people in that region.
What are the effects of astronomical location on Indonesia?
Astronomy location
Astronomical location is the location of a place based on latitude and longitude.
Latitudes are lines that circle or surround the surface of the Earth transversely.
Meanwhile, longitude is the line that connects the North Pole and South Pole. The longitude is vertical.
Indonesia's astronomical location is between 60 LU-110 latitude and 950 east longitude-1410 east longitude.
Oh yes, LU stands for North Latitude, LS stands for South Latitude, BT stands for East Longitude. The purpose of the astronomical location is:
The northernmost region of Indonesia is on Weh Island, Aceh Province, which is located at 60
The northernmost region of Indonesia is on Rote Island, East Nusa Tenggara, which is located at 110
The westernmost region of Indonesia is on Beureuh Island, Aceh Province, which is located in 950
The easternmost region of Indonesia is in Merauke, Papua, which is located in 1410
Effect of Astronomical Position
1. Tropical Climate
The impact of Indonesia's astronomical location has an effect on climate.
Indonesia has a tropical climate because it is on the equator. That's because the tropical climate stretches from 23.50 LU-23.50 latitude, while the latitude of Indonesia is 60 LU-110 latitude.
The impact of the tropical climate is that Indonesia's territory receives sunlight throughout the year. Indonesia also does not have winter, but only has two seasons namely the rainy season and the dry season.
Oh yes, during the change of seasons there is a transition season. Indonesian waters are also warm so they have a variety of marine life.
Air temperature and humidity tend to be warm, so that the flora and fauna can breed well.
Another impact of the tropical climate is that Indonesia has a lot of tropical rain forests.
Tropical rainforests function to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus producing oxygen. That is why, Indonesia is called the world's lung.
2. Three Time Zones
The impact of the location of the longitude of Indonesia 950 BT-1410 BT is, Indonesia is divided into three time zones, namely:
Western Indonesia Time (WIB)
The WIB region covers the islands of Sumatra, Java, Madura, Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan.
This region has a time difference of +7 to GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Greenwich is in London.
Greenwich is used as a benchmark of time because longitude 00 is there.
Central Indonesia Time (WITA)
The WITA region includes Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, East Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi Island, and surrounding islands.
This region has a time difference of +8 hours against GMT.
Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT).
The WIT region includes the Maluku Islands and Papua.
This region has a time difference of +9 hours against GMT.
