Winter Solstice - December 17, 2012
Hannah has noticed that every day it gets darker earlier and earlier. Today, she noticed it was dark out at 4:30. She remembers that in the summer it didn't get dark until 8:30. How much earlier does it get dark now than it did in the summer?
December 21 will be the shortest day of sunlight of the year. The sun will rise at 7:10 am and set at 4:15 pm. How long will the day be?
