Latitudes are rounded values assumed for this quiz. Rule used throughout: in the Northern Hemisphere, days are longer than 12 hours at the June solstice and shorter than 12 hours at the December solstice, and the difference grows with latitude. None of these cities is far enough north for true midnight sun. Only the qualitative pattern is tested, not exact daylight hours, and no live data is used.

Your choices are summarized at the end, and any tasks with right answers are checked separately. Progress is kept in this browser only so you can resume.
