Why can photoperiod vary from place to place?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Due to latitude and season, which change the length of the day
Photoperiod is the duration of daylight at a place. It mainly varies with latitude and season because Earth’s tilt and revolution change the length of day and night at different latitudes. Soil, altitude, and rainfall can affect vegetation, but they do not directly determine photoperiod. Exam tip: link photoperiod with day length, latitude, and seasonal change.
