An equator is the intersection of a sphere's surface with the plane perpendicular to the sphere's axis of rotation and containing the sphere's center of mass; whereas, the capitalized term Equator refers to the Earth's equator.

Why is the difference between the duration of day and night hardly felt in Kanyakumari but not in Kashmir?

Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator receives the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.

Why is the difference between the durations of the day and night hardly felt at Kanniayakumari but not so in Kashmir?

The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from South to North. As Kanyakumari lies close to the equator, the sun rays are felt more whereas Kashmir lies above the tropic of cancer, therefore sun rays are felt slanting towards the north of equator so the difference is felt more in kanyakumari than kashmir.
