Winter Solstice


We have been tracking the sunrise/sunset every Wednesday in math. This year the shortest day, the Winter Solstice, lands on a Wednesday.

When we started keeping track of the sunrise/sunset at the beginning of September we had over 13 hours of sunlight. Today we have just 9 hours of sunlight with the sunrise at 7:29 a.m. and sunset at 4:29 p.m.
