"[Obama] voted for nearly a billion dollars in pork barrel earmark projects, including, by the way, $3 million for an overhead projector at a planetarium in Chicago, Illinois. My friends, do we need to spend that kind of money?"

昼や夜がいつからいつまでなのかというはっきりした定義はありませんが、多くの場合、日の出・日の入が昼と夜の境であると考えます。ここでも、日の出・日の入が昼と夜の境であるとして、昼と夜の長さについて考えてみましょう。
