Go to the "Earth and Moon Viewer" website (http://four milab.ch/earthview). Under "Viewing the Earth," click on "latitude, longitude and altitude" and enter your approximate latitude and longitude, and 40,000 for altitude; then select "View Earth." Are you in daytime or nighttime? Now play with the locations; keep the same latitude but change to the opposite hemisphere (Northern or Southern). Is it still night or day? Go back to your latitude, and this time enter $180^{\circ}$ minus your longitude, and change from west to east, or from east to west, so that you are looking at the opposite side of Earth. Is it night or day there? What do you see at the North Pole (latitude $90^{\circ}$ north) and the South Pole (latitude $\left.90^{\circ} \text { south }\right) ?$ At the bottom of your screen you can play with the time. Move back 12 hours. What do you observe at your location and at the poles?
