India lies in the tropical region. Due to India's location in the tropical region, most of the rain is brought by monsoon winds.
Assertion (A): Although only the southern part of India lies in tropical region, the whole of India has tropical climate. Reason (R): Himalaya mountain ranges protect it from the northerly cold winds.
India is situated in the continent of Asia. It lies completely in the Northern hemisphere and Eastern hemisphere between latitudes 84′ N and 37°6'N and longitudes 68°7′ E and 97°25′ E.
Biogeography is the study of the distribution of species (biology), organisms, and ecosystems in geographic space and through geological time. There are ten biogeographic zones in India.
The Indian Subcontinent constitutes a distinctive geographic entity that can be divided into three geomorphic provinces: (a) the Indian Peninsula, (b) the Himalayas, and (c) the Indo-Gangetic Alluvial Plains.
The Indian subcontinent is divided in to three major zones: the fertile Gangetic Plain in the north, the dry Deccan plateau, and the coastal plains on either side of the Deccan. The Gangetic Plain lies south of the Himalayas and is very fertile due to three rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Brahmaputra.

India has Tropical monsoon type of climate. These varied climates occur due to vast area and latitudinal differences.
The southern part of India is located in the torrid zone where as the upper half of India is located in temperate zone.
India does not lies in the Frigid zone. Eight countries have land in the frigid zone: the United States, Canada, Russia, Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Greenland, which is part of Denmark.

Geographically, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India is also considered a part of Maritime Southeast Asia. Eastern Bangladesh and Northeast India have strong cultural ties with Mainland Southeast Asia and are sometimes considered transregional areas between South Asia and Southeast Asia.
India has a tropical climate because of the Himalayan mountains. The Himalayas prevent the cold air of Asia from reaching the temperate Northern Indian plains and trap the monsoon which brings rain to the whole of the country.
Latitude: India's climate has characteristics of both tropical as well as subtropical climates because The tropic of cancer has divided the country into two halves and passes through the middle of the country from the Rann of Kuchchh in the west To Mizoram in the east.
There are 16 countries in tropical Asia, ranging in size from around 610 square kilometres (240 sq mi) (Singapore) to 3,000,000 square kilometres (1,200,000 sq mi) (India).

The Earth has three main climate zones: tropical, temperate, and polar. The climate region near the equator with warm air masses is known as tropical. In the tropical zone, the average temperature in the coldest month is 18 °C. This is warmer than the average temperature of the warmest month in the polar zone.
