Time, Temperature, and Longitude Study
Required
Choose 5 cities on 5 different continents in the world. For each city
you must give the longitude and the time of day. Use the Internet
resources below, and proceed with the understanding that the time is
set at 12:00 Noon in New York, NY (Eastern Standard Time).
Proper header
The five cities I have chosen for this study are: (see example below)
Include a table list for each city with the following information:
In WORD go to TABLE > INSERT > TABLE. Choose 4 columns. Use TAB for new rows.

Table list of five cities I have chosen for this project:
| Cities of the World | Continent | Longitude | Time of day | Low Temp. | High Temp. | Temp. Estimate |
| New York, USA | North America | 73d. 58m. W. | 12:00 Noon | |||
| Athens, Greece | Europe | 23d. 43m. E. | 7:00 PM | |||
| Nairobi, Kenya | Africa | 36d. 55m. E. | 8:00 PM | |||
| Rio de Janeiro, Brazil | South America | 43d. 12m. W. | 2:00 PM | |||
| Vladivostok, Russia | Asia | 132d. 0m. E. | 3:00 AM |
We will note time of day, and estimate what the temperatures are based on the high and low temps we find.
