Hello,
In reference to the following link:
http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/6i.html
In reference to the graph on page 2 of 4 (Fig. 6i-2). What are they trying to tell me? If we look at the 50 degrees North line (The red one), It seems that approximately in mid June, the maximum hours of day length should be:
Sin(50) = 77% of a 24 hour day!
The maximum hours of the day should equal to = 0.77*24 = 18.4 hours
Why is the graph pointing more towards around 16 hours??
any help would be very appreciated!
Bob
