What time of the year has the shortest days (least amount of sunlight)?
What time of the year has the shortest days (least amount of sunlight)?
Tap to reveal answer
The winter has the least amount of sunlight when compared to the other seasons. During the winter, because of the Earth's position, we have less direct sunlight leading to shorter days, cooler temperatures, and the least amount of sunlight.

What is the relationship between seasons and the number of daylight hours?
Tap to reveal answer
There is a direct relationship between seasons and the number of daylight hours. During the spring and summer, longer days mean more daylight hours because of the Sun's tilt and position; during the winter, the days are shorter.

The order of the seasons changes every year.
The order of the seasons changes every year.
Tap to reveal answer
This is an untrue statement. The order of the seasons stays the same every year. The order is based on the Earth's revolution around the sun which does not change.

What seasons have the most amount of daylight?
Tap to reveal answer
Spring and summer have the most daylight due to the Earth's position and tilt during these times. The days are longer which means more sunlight. During the summer solstice (the longest day of the year) parts of the world receive between 14 and 21 hours of sunlight!

Tap to reveal answer
The fall and winter have the least amount of daylight of the four seasons. The Earth's tilt and position cause the Earth to be tilted away from the Sun, so there is less sunlight, and the days are shorter.

A student predicts that summer will have longer days and more sunlight so he can play outside more when compared to winter. Is the student's prediction correct? Why or why not?

Tap to reveal answer
The student is correct with his prediction. The Earth is slightly tilted, and during the summer, it is tilted towards the Sun, so we are warmer and get longer, sunnier days. During the winter, the Earth is tilted away from the Sun based on our position, so the days a colder, shorter, and there is less sunlight.

Rob is looking at the data table below and wants to relate the amount of daylight during different times of the year. What statement would best be supported?

Tap to reveal answer
Rob can conclude that during the winter months, there is less daylight than during the summer months. If there are only 9 hours of daylight in the winter but up to 15 hours in the summer, there is a relationship between the seasons and the amount of sunlight based on this data.

Based on the data table below, which conclusion is NOT correct?

Tap to reveal answer
The conclusion that is NOT correct is that spring and fall get the same amount of daylight. Looking at the data table, we can see that spring receives 13 hours of daylight, and the fall receives 11 hours of daylight. These are not the same number, so this is an incorrect statement. The other answer choices are true statements based on the data.
