The Vernal Equinox is coming! Notice how the line between light and dark on the equinoxes matches longitude.

Week #6: Sunrise on the Equinox |
Only on the equinoxes do locations at the same longitude experience sunrise at the same time. Next week's Time Clues will help you estimate the longitude of the Mystery sites.
Looking for a Clue?
When sunrise occurs at the Prime Meridian on the Vernal Equinox, eight Mystery sites will already have had sunrise and the other two will still be waiting. |
