The Daylight Hours Explorer is included on BrainBashers with full permission.
This page shows the hours of daylight received during the year for an observer at a given latitude. This is an important factor contributing to the seasons.
Slide the 'Latitude' slider across until the line is at the correct height on the globe for where you live.
You can then slide the 'Day' slider to see how much daylight you get on any day of the year.
You can also move the globe around.
The further North or South you live, the more variation in the amount of sunlight you get.
Someone living at the North Pole gets 6 months of daylight, followed by 6 months of night.
Someone living at the Equator gets 12 hours of sunlight every day, and it goes dark much more quickly.
