Using the diagram below, when will cities in the southern hemisphere experience their longest daylight hours of the year?
Questions about seasons diagrams are usually two part questions. What that means is you have to be able to figure out the seasons in a diagram, and then relate the seasons to the amount of daylight hours an area will receive. Look at the diagram below, and identify the Earth model with the shortest amount of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere.
In the diagram above, Position A is winter in the northern hemisphere. Winter months have the shortest amount of daylight hours. Summer months have the longest amount of daylight hours. The start of winter, the winter solstice, is when a hemisphere experiences the day with the shortest amount of daylight hours for the year. Remember that days are always 24 hours long, the amount of daylight hours are shorter in the winter months, compared to the summer months.
