Example Question #1 : Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year
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?
There is the same amount of daylight during the whole year.
During the summer months, there is less daylight than in the winter months.
During the winter months, there is less daylight than in the summer months.
During the winter months, there is less daylight than in the summer months.
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.
Example Question #1 : Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year
Based on the data table below, which conclusion is NOT correct?
Spring and fall get the same amount of daylight.
Spring and summer get the most daylight.
Winter and fall get the least daylight.
Spring and fall get the same amount of daylight.
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.
Example Question #9 : Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year
What does the term daylight mean?
Natural light from the Moon
Natural light from the stars
Natural light from the Sun
Natural light from the Sun
Daylight means the arrival of natural light from the Sun. When the Sun rises in the morning, it shines a light on Earth, which we call daytime. The amount of daylight that we receive depends on the season.
Example Question #1 : Relate The Amount Of Daylight To The Time Of Year
Which month has the most sunlight and during which season is that month? Use the table below to help answer the question.
June; summer
November; winter
March; spring
June; summer
The month with the most daylight is in June. This month is during the summertime. The longest day of the year is actually in June, and some places receive 21 hours of sunlight that day!
Example Question #41 : Earth And Space Science
Winter is the warmest season and has the most sunlight.
True
False
False
This is a false statement. Winter is typically the coldest month and receives the least sunlight because of the Earth's tilt and location in its revolution. Summer is the warmest season and gets the most sunlight.
