Comparison of the variations in insolation on the Earth during the changes in the seasons. From, Reynolds, S and Johnson, Exploring Earth Science, McGraw, 2016 7. The seasons also effect the length of day (the time between sunrise and sunset). Based on your observations of Figure 2, indicate when each region has the longest day (circle 1) a. Northern Hemisphere: December Solstice The Equinoxes /June Solstice b. Equatorial Region: December Solstice/The Equinoxes/June Solstice c. Southern Hemisphere: December Solstice/The Equinoxes /June Solstice B. Albedo Place equal amounts of black sand and white sand into the beakers provided. Place thermometers in the sand of each so that the bulb is about ¼ inch beneath the surface of the sand. Place the two beakers at the equal distance away from the lamp provided (lamp should be off). Note the temperature in both sets of sand and enter in the table Switch on the lamp and then note the temperature in each beaker every minute (use the stop watch function on your cell phone) and enter the temperature into the table. After 10 minutes switch off the lamp. Plot the temperature vs. time on the chart provided. Use a different colors to represent the black and white sands. the file named "Albedo Sand Results in the a nment r the t Table 1.

7.
a) The longest day on the Northern Hemisphere is on summer solstice which is nothing but June Solstice.
b) The longest day on the Equatorial region is when the equator is exactly half the way i.e directly facing sun. That happens in Equinox. So on the equinox there will be largest day at equator.
