Dawn, Sunrise, Day, Sunset, Dusk, Night: Around the World...

This site popped up on my tablet over ?10 yrs ago.
It starts with a outline world map. Touch it, a list of the Contenents show, and it diversefies from there. You can also put In a location.

First, a chart of these times (and other factors) will show up for
"today /tomorrow/ 1 week/ 2 weeks/1 month till /6 months"

The *fun* part is the graph below:Jan 1 > Dec 31/ 12A - 12Midnight.
night = gray/ dawn = blue/ day = yellow,
pink = dusk
This is where you'll really see strking differences in how these aspects play out along the latitudes.

I'm in NYC. Maine will look mildly different.
So will Austin in a different way. Puerto Rico, as well. But wait till you see Alaska!
And Olso, Norway.

On the "flipside" (from my geo pov) our posters in or below Costa Rco. Posters who've visted parts of Africa. Or lived in, say, Southern Indian. Our Ausses. And a very few of you have been to Antartica!

ETA:To the extra curious.
(Woah, I just looked at Antartica [never did]. It's very, very different)

I'm posting this.
Then I'll see if I can post my NYC graph as an example/starting point.


.
(oh, yay, it worked. haven’t done this in good while. it's a tiny bit blurry)

Then consider bopping around the USA [we're big, and spread out enough], your country of original, or where you're living now.

There's actually a whole lot more of different graphs that show other related items.

Hope you enjoy!
