The winter solstice comes December 21st. It is the shortest day of the year, but it signals the return of light to the northern hemisphere, and since ancient times, humans have celebrated it. The solstice may be the reason Stonehenge (pictured above) was built in England thousands of years ago. The question is, why is sunlight so important to us? Today,we have all sorts of artificial light, yet people miss long hours of sunlight; some even suffer from a kind of depression due to lack of daylight. How about you? Does the darker time of year bother you? Why or why not?

The Sun provides heat to the Earth. The Sun heats up the Earth, so that it is the right temperature for animals to live. Without the Sun, Earth would be a cold wasteland.
ReplyDeleteThe Sun provides light. The light helps provide energy to the Earth, through electromagnetic energy. It also helps animals see in the day and the night (through the moon). This light also helps plants grow, and since plants consume carbon dioxide, and produce oxygen, plants are vital to human life.
from my side I think sunlight is very important, from my side light is very necessary, for example I like to take the son on the beach, I like to feel the hot of the sun, I think the night light is depressing , I do not like to live in the dark, I like to live life in the sunlight, without sunlight I could not live.
I think the light is very important for us, if we don't have the light there is no way for plants to grow, we will live every day in the dark, we will do many things very difficult, and I think there is no light, you will feel very sleepy anytime,so i think the light is the important thing in our life.
ReplyDeleteI don't like rainy days. There is no sun in the rainy days, and it is very wet. It will make me feel depressed. If there are not many things in the sun, the world will not survive.If there is no sun plant, it will not grow, and the earth will have no life.
ReplyDeleteSunlight is very important to us. Sunlight shines on us to help us develop. Sunlight is more important for children because they are growing fast. Sunlight is an important element in the manufacture of oxygen from plants. I also like the sun very much. I like to be in the sun. The sunshine makes me feel better. When there is no sunshine, it will make me very depressed.If the black day of the year is very long, the mood will be very depressed.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion,I think sunlight is very important to every peoples.All life in the world is related to the sun.Sunlight helps animals, humans and plants grow. Without sunlight, there will be no such life.Sunlight can prevent us from getting sick.Sunlight can also kill harmful bacteria on our bodies.The darker times of the year will bother me.Because,I like sunshine.All of the above is my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI think the reason why sunlight is so important to us is because we can see everything in the sun, and the sun makes us feel warm. Sunlight is also very important for plants because we have sunshine so we can see beautiful plants. The darker times of the year won't bother me. Because as long as the sun will eventually appear, if only the sun is not necessarily a good thing, the darkness is like a period of relaxation due to the sun.
ReplyDeleteI think the sunlight is very important for me,because the sunlight will let me feel safe and I’m like to be under the sunlight I like the feeling,the sunlight let me feels warm and good,all the plants and animals are needed sunlight,it’s also important thing for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think light is very, very important. Light brings us a lot of benefits, people can't live without light. If there is no light, people can't travel, cook, drink, and go to the toilet in life... People can't do anything. So light is one of the world's inability to leave, and it is very important.

Because as long as the sun will eventually appear, if only the sun is not necessarily a good thing, then the darkness is like a period of relaxation due to the sun. It created a living environment for us and gave us oxygen.
ReplyDeleteI think we have to be aware of how important it is to take advantage of sunlight because the human uses a lot of electrical energy and that causes a lot of pollution and the north pole is thawing, we are definitely destroying the earth.

ReplyDeletelong time a ago people only active in the morning for thousands years, because sunlight gives people vision and protects people for dangerous of night. Humans can’t just eat meat, we have to eat food for plants but plants give when have sunlight and oxygen . Also now people still prefer sunlight than the light for light bulbs. Sunlight help people feel warm and energy. Sunlight very important to humans, even animal and plants.
In my opinion, I think sunlights is very Important, because if the earth don’t have sunlight, that will be very serious problems, the spices don’t get sunlight, the plants cannot get photosynthesis. That means is everything will be kind of destroyed.
ReplyDeleteI think this affects my life, which makes me need to go home earlier, I can't do more activities outside, and the night is too scary.
ReplyDeleteBecause sunlight can make plants grow, it can also give people the motivation and good mood of life. Sunlight is very important to us. The darkest time of the year will have some trouble for me, I will feel no spirit, can't do things seriously.
