~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
== Cairo's length of day changes with the date. As far as I can tell there is no pattern to it. For example on 1-6-11 it's day will be 10 hours and 17 minutes, but on 1-12-11 it's day will be 10 hours and 22 minutes. Mostly the daytime only changes in minutes. ==

= Questions = Cairo gets 9.5 hours of sunlight per day, and 3451 hours per year. It's hot because it's so close to the tropic of cancer which gets a lot of sunlight during the time when the sun is shinning on the Earth and when the Earth is tilted on a 23 1/2 angle and tilted toward the sun. Cairo is 11,000 kilometers from the equator. Cairo is not by a ocean. It is by the Red Sea and the Meddaterrianian Sea. It affects the climate by tempature, because of a land breeze that makes the city warmer. Land breezes happen because the seas take longer to cool down there for in a way heating uo the city. Cairo is near the Sahara dessert which is warming. It's elevation is 243 ft. above sea level. The lower the elevation the thicker the air level. Cairo's humidity is 35.2% It almost NEVER rains, and the average rainfall is 1.0% per year. BUT it is VERY windy and some days you can't even go outside due to wind traveling at high speeds! Cairo has only 2 seasons! A mild winter starting in November and going until April, and a hot summer from May until October! I am currently looking for more specific dates !! :) Cairo has only two seasons, but I will tell you about those. Summer is very hot and windy also very dry. The average rainfall is 1.0 per year and 0.1 per month. Winter is a mild not to hot and definitely not to cold. Cairo rarely gets rain. But sometimes it does.
 * **How much direct sunlight does the city get, based on it's location on Earth? **
 * **How far is the city from the equator? **
 * **Is the city near an ocean? Which one? How does the ocean affect the climate? **
 * **Describe the landforms around the city? Is it a mountainous region? Is it near a desert? Is it near a rain forest? How do the local landforms affect the climate? **
 * **Is it windy, dry, rainy, humid? Why? **
 * **When does winter/summer/fall/spring begin and end? Include specific dates of the year. **
 * **What does winter/summer/fall/spring look like & feel like in that city? Include specific temperatures, average rainfall, etc. **

Because Cairo only has 2 seasons, Winter is 6 months from November until April and Summer is also 6 months from May until October. The earth is tilted at a 23 1/2 angle. When it is tilted toward the sun and close to the sun (also near the tropic of Capricorn) it's Summer. When it is tilted away from the sun and farther from the sun it's Winter! Cairo is warmer than Iceland, on most days. Iceland has some glaciers, but Cairo has none. The differences exist because the two cities are on opposite sides of the equator so, one will be close to tropic of cancer and one will be close to tropic of capercorn. When one city is having winter the other is having summer.
