Why December 21 la Shortest Day.
By Ehlrn Knauf. Nth Grade:
The length of the day depends on
two Unn,
the incline of the earth's
axis and th.- earth's revolution a-
round th.- eun.
When th«- north pole ia pointing
directly away from the eun the sun'*
rays only reach to the arctic circle
and ail th.- places lx tween there and
the north polr are in darknesa. So
when the earth is in this position
the sun's ravx cover only a portion
of the northern hemisphere. In th*
•**rth's rotation it does not tak«- the
continent of North America long to
cross this --pace of light. This is
