What is the length of daylight associated with the equinox at the equator and the poles?
At the equator, during the equinox, the length of daylight is approximately 12 hours. At the poles, during the equinox, there is no daylight as it is the period when the sun remains below the horizon for a full 24 hours.
Is sunlight hitting both poles during an equinox?
Yes, during an equinox, both poles receive approximately equal amounts of sunlight due to the Earth's axial tilt and the position in its orbit.
During the solstices where do earths poles point in relation to the sun?
somewere
What is special about the equinox and why is it especially important at the north and south poles?
The equinox is special because it marks the time when the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. At the poles, the equinox is significant because it marks the beginning of a period of continuous daylight (during the spring equinox) or continuous darkness (during the autumn equinox) due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
What are earths poles called?
North and South poles
How many hours of daylight do the poles have on an equinox?
On the equinox, there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night everywhere except the poles. At the poles, the equinox means that the sun is either rising for the first time in 6 months or setting for the first time in 6 months.
What happens when both the north and south poles are the same distance from the sun?
When both poles are equidistant from the sun, it denotes that the Earth is experiencing an equinox. During this time, the length of day and night is nearly equal at all latitudes on Earth. This occurs twice a year, in March and September.
Which of the earths poles is located in antarctica?
south
Why is water cooler near earths poles?
because they are different parts of the earths hemispheres.
What is it called when earths magnetic poles change poles?
This is known as magnetic reversal when earth's magnetic poles change places.
Why is it hard to read a compass when standing at one of the earths poles?
Because the earths magnetic poles move around from year to year, and even day to day.
How are poles of earth fixed?
By the axis of earths rotation
