Two students visit their grandmother four times a year. They live in San Francisco, California (latitude 38°N), and their grandmother lives in Seattle, Washington (latitude 48°N). Student A said, “ Even though the number of hours of daylight changes during the year, I think there are always more hours of daylight in Seattle.” Student B said, “I really hadn’t noticed. Let’s collect some data and find out if you are right.” The table below shows the number of daylight hours for each day when they started a trip to their grandmother’s last year. They figured the number of daylight hours based on sunrise and sunset times from the Naval Observatory website.

Sunlight feels warmer during the middle of the day. What is the best explanation for this phenomenon?

• ❍ A The sunlight does not have to travel as far at noon, because the Sun is slightly closer.
• ❍ B The rays from the Sun are parallel when they strike Earth at all latitudes.
• ❍ C The Sun is hotter in the middle of the day, sending more energy.
• ❍ D The solar angle is greater at midday than earlier or later in the day.

A group of students wondered how average temperature changes as you travel south from the equator. Would the pattern be similar to the one you see as you travel north, or would it continue to get hotter? Here are the data they collected from cities in South America, all about the same longitude and all less than 500 m in elevation. . What claim can the students make about traveling south of the equator?

• The farther south from the equator you go, the lower the average temperature
• The farther North from the equator you go, the lower the average temperature

• The farther East from the equator you go, the lower the average temperature

• None of the above
