Earth / Sun Applet • Understand the principles governing the relationship between the earth’s rotation, orbit and angle to the sun http://www.mesoscale.iastate.edu/agron206/animations/01_EarthSun.html • Arctic circle 66.5 degrees north latitude • Tropic of Cancer = 23.5 degrees north • Tropic of Capricorn = 23.5 degrees south • Antarctic Circle = 66.5 degrees south latitude
Winter Solstice Dec. 21 (Northern Hemisphere) Summer Solstice June. 21 (Northern Hemisphere)

Solar Time • Solar time varies from clock time • Reasons: • Daylight Savings TimeTypically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring (2nd Sunday in March/spring forward) and are adjusted backward in fall (1st Sunday in November/fall back) • Deviation in longitude • Earth’ s speed in it’s orbit around sun changes during the year 33 degrees North Latitude Feb. 11 (+14 minutes) Nov. 1 (- 16 minutes)
World Time Zonesdirection of earth’s rotation ----- Standard time meridians are 15 degrees apart (one hour) or 4 minutes per degree -8 -7 -6 -5 hours GMT +2 +3 +4 hours U S A
