It comes as
no surprise to a grade school student that temperature and length of the day changes
with the seasons. No one is surprised to
hear that it gets colder up north, either.
It is difficult, however, to compile a list of cities, north and south
of the equator, that illustrate this effectively. No two cities have precisely the same
influences on their weather. Some areas
that would otherwise be cold are close to warm ocean currents that dominate
their climate. Some cities are cold
because they are at high altitude even though they are not that far from the
equator. The list I have compiled is not
perfect but it takes some of these factors into consideration. My list doesn’t eliminate enough variables to
meet the criteria of a suitable scientific experiment but it does illustrate
the seasonal changes in temperature and length of day the earth experiences as
it moves around the sun annually. The
images below provide a succinct demonstration of my point.
