Thread starter akerkarprashant Start date Jun 7, Can we trace the longest and shortest day of the year in other planets of Solar system similar to earth planet? Now make a dot a little under 6, for Venus.

Their dots would be so close to 0 it would be hard to tell the difference between them. Graphs work best when the numbers are similar in size, usually with the same number of digits. Now that you know how to make a graph, you can show all kinds of information this way. You can graph the time it takes to get to school each day, the number of pieces of pizza your friends can eat, and how many people like the color blue or green.

Go on and get graphing! The Short Answer:. The longest day among those planets is 25 hours. That means our number line will go up to Along the bottom, write the names of the planets. Make a dot above the name of the planet next to the number of hours its day takes. Our graph is coming together! What do we do now? Color in the area below the dot to make a bar graph.

These two annual times of light and dark are separated by a long sunrise and a long sunset. Earth rotates on its axis; this causes us to experience day and night. But Earth's axis is tilted As Earth orbits our Sun, the axis points toward the same location in space — almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star. This means that during Earth's movement around our Sun each year, our polar regions spend loooooooong periods pointed toward our Sun in the summer for example, July in the northern hemisphere, or December in the southern hemisphere and long periods pointed away from our Sun during the winter.

At latitudes greater than Because of this tilt and Earth's movement around our Sun, there is a time when Earth's north pole is tilting This is the summer solstice, the first day of the northern hemisphere summer and the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. On December 21 or 22, Earth's north pole is tilting This is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The spring equinox in March marks the beginning of the transition from 24 hours of darkness to 24 hours of daylight at the north pole.

The fall equinox in September marks the shift into 24 hours of darkness at the north pole. During the equinoxes every location on Earth excluding the extreme poles experiences a hour day length. Other planets also experience these changes in day and night length because they too are tilted on their axes.

Each planet's axis is tilted at a different angle. Jupiter is tilted only 3 degrees, so its change in day and night length as it moves around the Sun is less extreme than that of Earth. Neptune's axis is tilted 30 degrees, so day and night changes would be more extreme on Neptune than on Earth.
