Cool Way to Tell How Much Light Time Is Left in the Day

CampsBaySunset.JPG
A cool way to figure how many daylight hours are left in the day by useing your hands.

**WARNING**
You need to be able to see the sun!

Materials

For this, you need to have more than one hand. You can use one but it is more difficult.

Step One

Extend your arm fully so that your first hand is covering the sun. (so you do not lose eyesight) You do not count the hand covering the sun.
I did not make a hand to cover the sun so that you could see where it is.

Next Step

Do the same as in step one with your other hand, but place under first hand.
The blocks represent hands.

Step Three

Keep going while counting until you reach the horizon.
So in this picture, the blocks represent hands. There are about 4 hours of daylight left.
