2) Day length is related to latitude in the way that as you get close to the equator descending from the North Pole in the winter the amount of sunlight is grows, until hitting a full 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole. However in the summer it is the opposite. Starting at the North Pole with 24 hours of sunlight, it slowly decreases as you go down until it reaches 0 at the South Pole, when there is no sunlight at all. (For the North Pole it’s reversed, so it starts out at 0 in the beginning of winter). The differences between Northern and Southern Hemispheres; in the summer the Northern Hemisphere experiences more daylight and it is warmer, whereas in the winter it’s switched. Then during the winter in the Northern Hemisphere it’s colder and experiences little to no daylight, whereas in the Southern the amount of sunlight is longer and is …show more content…

7) Currently, since we are experiencing winter, the North Pole is pointed away from the sun. If the North Pole is pointed towards the sun then the South Pole is pointing away, which means the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing longer days.

9) The rate of change is higher at high latitudes (North Pole/South Pole) because they experience a larger shift in the amount of daylight where as you get closer to the equator it becomes more even throughout the year.
10) Alaska gets more sunlight on average than the others because it experiences the biggest shift in the amount of daylight (goes from roughly 6 hours of daylight to 18 hours). Quincy experiences the least amount of sunlight on average because our lowest amount is 9 hours, and our highest amount is 15 hours.
