Time of Day
James and I took the sunrise and the sunset data from March 20,1995, and we
graphed it. Then we looked at Leslie's graph from December 21, sunrise sunset
data and we compared them. We noticed that latitude makes a difference in
December. Some places had more daylight. In March the latitude did not seem
to make a difference. Why not?
