Our Conclusions:

In November, the farther one goes to the south, the more daylight you will have. Conversely, as you travel north in November, the days are shorter. Our chart clearly shows this relationship of daylight minutes vs. latitude.

In November, the temperature is lowest in cities which were the farthest to the North. The farther you travel South, the warmer the temperature.

We all had fun doing this project.
