Instructions: answer all the questions below. The total amount of points for the assignment is 100, distributed as listed with each question. Submit the responses as a single PDF or Microsoft Word document attached to this exercise.

1 (10 points).  Make a list of the names, latitudes, longitudes, and elevations of your current location plus 10 other locations you would like to visit (include places on at least five different continents in your list. You may use Google Earth or any other mapping program or website to obtain this information. A link to Google Earth is provided below.

2 (10 points). Make a map of your location using Google Earth. You can copy the map as an image from Google Earth and paste it into Microsoft Word (check your manuals or online help for instructions). Estimate the scale of the map as a representative fraction (for example, 1:150,000).  Use the scale bar in Google Earth to help you calculate the representative fraction, and include the scale bar on the map.

3 (40 points). Track the following over a 7-day period at your location, and make a table listing all of the variables in one row per day: Minimum temperature and time of day Maximum temperature and time of day Sunrise Sunset End of astronomical twilight

All of this information can be found for your location using the Weather Underground site (link provided below).

Is there a lag between the time of maximum insolation (noon) and the time of maximum temperature?  If so, typically how long?  Is there a lag between the time of minimum insolation (end of twilight) and the time of minimum temperature? If so, typically how long is the lag? How did the times of sunset and sunrise change during your observation period?  Can you explain those changes by considering Earth’s seasons? 4 (20 points). Over a 7-day period, make a space weather diary. Include a picture of the Sun each day (you can use an Internet source for the solar images provided you describe where the images came from), the number of sunspots and the maximum solar flare observed that day. Links to sites with this information are below.

5 (20 points).  From the climogram website provided below, choose five locations on five different continents. Each location can be no larger than a single city.  How do the major controls on temperature (latitude, altitude, continentality, and cloud cover) affect the average temperature and seasonal cycle of temperature at each location?
