Question

Jose is a child living in Argentina, where spring begins in September and ends in December. Because he sees the days getting longer in these months, he makes a conjecture that the days are getting longer all over the world. Show that Jose’s conjecture is false by writing a counterexample.

Answer 1

Jose is false because the sun which makes it a day only shines none side of the earth while the moon is on the other side so on the other half of the hemisphere the days would be getting shorter while the days get longer on the other half of the hemisphere.
