What happens to sound when you shorten a guitar string?

A shorter string will result in a higher pitch. This is why, on a violin or cello, for example, the pitch rises as you place your fingers farther and farther up the fingerboard.

Why are days getting shorter in south Florida?

Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice. The tilt of the earth causes days to get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The further north or south you are the more extreme these changes are. (near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)


Why does the sun take longer to set in summer than in winter?

Not only that, but it rises earlier, too. The Earth is a sphere, but the axis of rotation isn't perpendicular to the plane of our orbit around the Sun. And really, why should it be? The fact is that the Earth's spin axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic ("Ecliptic" is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.) Since the Earth spins like a gyroscope, it's pretty stable; it doesn't wobble (much). So when the Earth's axis is tilted a little more toward the Sun, the days are longer and the nights are shorter. The Sun rises earlier and sets later. We call this "Spring" and "Summer". When the axis is tilted a little AWAY from the Sun, it's fall and winter; the Sun rises later and sets earlier, and we have shorter days and longer nights.
