On our summer solstice in June, the Northern Hemisphere is
tilted toward the sun. As the Earth turns toward the sunlight,
watch the place where you live. Imagine the longitude line
that runs through your town, from the North Pole to the South
Pole. Does it looks like sunrise occurs at the same time or
different times along that longitude? Now let's look again
at the spring equinox.
