Flashcard 1: Identify the season if daylight is getting longer each day in your records.
Answer: Spring. Days grow longer as Earth tilts toward summer.
Flashcard 2: Choose the correct comparison: In winter, sunrise is usually earlier or later than in summer?
Answer: Later. Winter mornings start later than summer mornings.
Flashcard 3: Which line on a graph should rise if daylight is increasing over days: daylight hours line or date line?
Answer: Daylight hours line. More daylight makes the hours line go up.
Flashcard 4: Choose the correct comparison: In summer, sunset is usually earlier or later than in winter?
Answer: Later. Summer days end later than winter days.
Flashcard 5: Which observation best shows longer daylight: earlier sunset or later sunset?
Answer: Later sunset. The Sun sets later when days are longer.
Flashcard 6: Which observation best shows longer daylight: earlier sunrise or later sunrise?
Answer: Earlier sunrise. The Sun rises sooner when days are longer.
Flashcard 7: Identify the tool that can be used to record daily sunrise and sunset times.
Answer: A calendar or chart (daylight record). These tools help track when the Sun rises and sets.
Flashcard 8: What happens to daylight hours from summer to winter in the same place?
Answer: Daylight hours decrease. Earth's changing tilt makes days grow shorter.
Flashcard 9: What happens to daylight hours from winter to summer in the same place?
Answer: Daylight hours increase. Earth's changing tilt makes days grow longer.
Flashcard 10: Which season usually has the fewest hours of daylight: summer or winter?
Answer: Winter. Earth's tilt gives winter the shortest days.
Flashcard 11: Which season usually has the most hours of daylight: summer or winter?
Answer: Summer. Earth's tilt gives summer the longest days.
Flashcard 12: What is night?
Answer: Time when the Sun is below the horizon and it is dark outside. The Sun's position below the horizon creates darkness.
Flashcard 13: What is daylight?
Answer: Time when the Sun is above the horizon and it is light outside. The Sun's position above the horizon creates light.
Flashcard 14: What is the pattern called when daylight changes in a repeating way each year?
Answer: A seasonal pattern. Daylight follows predictable yearly cycles.
Flashcard 15: Which graph type best shows how daylight changes over many days: line graph or pie chart?
Answer: Line graph. Shows change over time; pie charts show parts of a whole.
Flashcard 16: What is one correct way to compare daylight between two dates using records?
Answer: Compare the sunrise and sunset times for both dates. Calculate daylight hours for each date to compare.
Flashcard 17: Which month is more likely to have shorter daylight in the Northern Hemisphere: December or June?
Answer: December. December is winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Flashcard 18: Which month is more likely to have longer daylight in the Northern Hemisphere: January or July?
Answer: July. July is summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
Flashcard 19: Which is the correct way to find daylight length from records: sunset time minus sunrise time?
Answer: Daylight length = sunset time − sunrise time. Subtract start time from end time to find duration.
Flashcard 20: What is the best unit to use when comparing daylight length in a day: hours, meters, or grams?
Answer: Hours. Time is measured in hours, not distance or weight.
Flashcard 21: What tool can you use to record the date and time of sunrise and sunset each day?
Answer: A calendar or chart (data record). These help track daylight patterns over time.
Flashcard 22: Which happens later in summer compared with winter: sunrise or sunset?
Answer: Sunset happens later. Summer days extend later into the evening than winter days.
Flashcard 23: Which happens earlier in summer compared with winter: sunrise or sunset?
Answer: Sunrise happens earlier. Summer days start earlier and end later than winter days.
Flashcard 24: What happens to daylight time from summer to winter in most places: increase or decrease?
Answer: Decrease. Days get shorter as Earth's tilt changes toward winter.
Flashcard 25: What happens to daylight time from winter to summer in most places: increase or decrease?
Answer: Increase. Days get longer as Earth's tilt changes toward summer.
Flashcard 26: Which season usually has the least daylight in a year: winter, spring, summer, or fall?
Answer: Winter. Days are shortest when Earth's tilt faces away from the Sun.
Flashcard 27: Which season usually has the most daylight in a year: winter, spring, summer, or fall?
Answer: Summer. Days are longest when Earth's tilt faces the Sun.
Flashcard 28: What is the name for the time when the Sun disappears in the evening?
Answer: Sunset. This marks the end of daylight each day.
Flashcard 29: What is the name for the time when the Sun first appears in the morning?
Answer: Sunrise. This marks the beginning of daylight each day.
