We reviewed today about how to calculate "Shaot Zmaniot."
-You begin by calculating the number of minutes from Netz Hachama (Sunrise) to Shkiah (Sunset). This will give you the total number of minutes of "Daylight" for that day.
-Then, to find how long ONE hour is divide that number of minutes by 12. Simple as that.
Some days have more light than dark, the length of an hour could be MORE than 60.
Some days have more darkness than light, the length of an hour could be LESS than 60.
For HW, studens are to find the length of ONE HOUR and calculate the start and end times of all 12 hours of the day for the following cases:
Netz Hachama: 7:02 AM 5:37 AM
Shkiah: 6:49 PM 7:12 PP
