Question

the chart below shows the length of daylight (in hours) in the northern hemisphere. the chart includes three different latitudes and four different times of year.which statement best explains the change occurring at 30°n latitude between september and december?choose 1 answer:a day length is becoming shorter because summer is approaching.b day length is becoming longer because winter is approaching.c day length is becoming shorter because winter is approaching.d day length is becoming longer because summer is approaching.

Explanation:

At \(30^{\circ}N\), the daylight hours change from 12 (September 21st) to 10 (December 21st). This means the day length is decreasing. In the northern hemisphere, winter (December - February) is approaching from September to December. As winter approaches in the northern hemisphere, the days get shorter (less daylight) due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbital position.

Answer:

C. Day length is becoming shorter because winter is approaching.
