The sun emits different amounts of energy all the time, however the hemispheres receive equal amounts of SUNLIGHT on the Equinoxes (approx. September 21 and March 21).

Earth's hemispheres receive approximately the same amount of energy from the sun during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. At these times, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun's rays to strike the Earth more directly at the equator, resulting in equal daylight and darkness across the globe.
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal, it is called energy balance or radiative equilibrium. This balance helps maintain the Earth's overall temperature and climate.
no When it is summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere and vice versa.
When the amount of energy received from the sun and the amount of energy returned to space are about equal, it is called "radiative equilibrium." This balance is crucial for maintaining a stable climate, as it indicates that the Earth's energy budget is in balance, preventing significant warming or cooling over time.
