13. Which latitude experienced the greater seasonal
change in daylight hours?
60° N
14. Daylight hours increase or decrease incrementally
from one day to the next. Is the change in daylight
hours greatest near the solstices or the equinoxes?
Look for a place near you in the
table of sunrise and sunset times.
Note how daylight hours change.
Compare the length today, on the
June solstice, and on the December
The figures below show the daily arc of the Sun
relative to Earth's surface at four different locations:
23 S, 0°, 30° N, and 60° N. The three dotted lines at each
location represent the arc of the Sun on the June solstice,
the December solstice, and the March equinox. The
sunrise and sunset times are shown for each arc. Think of
these arcs as part of a full circle that represents the 24-hour
day. The arc represents the portion of that 24 hours when
the Sun is above the horizon (the shaded flat surface).
15. Label each figure with the correct latitude and each
are with the correct date.
