"Uncovering the Geographical Enigma: Is Switzerland Closer to the Equator than Sudan?"

Info

Switzerland and Sudan may seem like distant and vastly different countries, but have you ever wondered which one is closer to the equator?

This seemingly simple question can reveal fascinating insights into the geography and climate of these two nations.

At first glance, one might assume that Sudan, being located in Northeast Africa, would be closer to the equator than Switzerland, which is nestled in the heart of Europe.

However, the truth is quite the contrary.

Switzerland, with its northernmost point situated at approximately 47.8°N latitude, is actually closer to the equator than Sudan, which spans an area between 3.5°N and 22°N.

The key to understanding this geographical quirk lies in the shape and positioning of the African continent.

While Sudan is located in the northeastern part of Africa, it extends quite far north, reaching up towards the Mediterranean Sea. - https://switzerlandfocusguide.com/blog/is-switzerland-closer-to-the-equator-than-sudan/?unique_id_dc30o75w
