Which of the following factor does not determine the climate of Rajasthan? (Choose the most appropriate option from below)
Answer: C
The factor that does not determine the climate is longitudinal position.
Longitude decides local time, not climate: places on the same latitude but different longitudes can have the same climate. Rajasthan's climate is set by its latitude (it lies across the Tropic of Cancer, which gives high sun and heat), its distance from the sea (which makes it continental, with extreme temperatures), and its land structure, especially the Aravalli range lying parallel to the south-west monsoon winds so that they pass over the west without much rain.
Each of those three shapes Rajasthan's climate, so only longitude is the odd one out.
