Day and Night on Earth
Spring equinox in the Northern Hemipshere at 6:00 Universal Time
Here are your clues:
Use your mouse to slide the smiley faces onto the image."Please bring my breakfast," says Smiley #8. "I need my fuel for school."
"Our local sunrise came a little earlier" says says Smiley #5. "We'll be starting class soon!"
Some of us have been awake even longer than Smileys #8 and #5, including Smileys #6, #4, #2, and #10 (in order of who has been awake, from the shortest to the longest time).
"It won't be long and we'll be eating dinner soon, says Smiley #10." The same will be true for Smiley #2 just one hour later. "We finished lunch a little while ago," say Smiley #4. "We're still at the table!" adds Smiley #6.
Meanwhile please be quiet! We are still tucked in bed and have several more hours of sleep say Smileys #3, #7, #9 and #1. "We'll get up in that order because that's the same order in which we went to bed."
