Shadows on Earth change because of two causes. What are those two causes? |
| Time of Day and time of Year. |
| The length of daylight and the apparent path of the Sun for each season vary at .... |
| different latitudes. |
| The apparent path of the Sun across the sky changes during the summer as you move closer to the North Pole by getting ________ in the sky. |

| How might the apparent height of the Sun in the sky and the length of daylight affect temperature for a particular latitude? |
| The longer the daylight and the more directly overhead the sunlight, the warmer the temperatures are for that particular latitude. |
| What do you think is responsible for the differences in the apparent path of the Sun and in the sunrise and sunset times at different latitudes throughout the year? |
| The Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the sun. |
|
How do sunrise and sunset times at Antarctic compare to those in Alaska? |

| List three reasons why winter is colder than summer. |
|
1 - Days are short - nights are long - less time to heat up. 2 - The sun's rays are not as direct in the winter. 3 - Sunlight must pass through more atmosphere in the |
