This
user-contributed
tutorial
provides
detailed
instructions
on
how
to
make
Excel
graphs
of
data
that
is
imported
from
the
Internet.
The
tutorial
contains
sample
screen
images
to
assist
in
performing
each
step.
It
involves
importing
a
second
set
of
data
and
adding
it
as
another
series
on
the
original
graph.
The
tutorial
includes
questions
based
on
the
atmospheric
lapse
rates
plotted
for
two
locations.

The

The

tilted
23.5
degrees

This

and
the
Earth's
orbit
around
the
sun
are
the
reasons
for
the
