Daylight variations


This app is a not-to-scale Earth-Sun-Moon simulator, hence it does not include gravitational physics or Newtonian analysis, just circular motion.

Observe not only how fast the length of the day varies, but also how the speed with which it either increases or decreases varies throughout the year. Can you explain what you observe? Does the model help?
