Which hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during vernal equinox?
Eastern
What occurs when neither end of the earth's axis is tilted toward or away from the sun?
equinox.
Why are temperatures more mild during a equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
How does the Earth tilt when it is Spring an Fall?
At the time of each equinox, the rotational axis of the earth is exactly perpendicular to the path of the sunlight hitting the earth. After the autumnal equinox, the hemisphere in which autumn started is tilted away from the sun.
Exactly one-half of the surface area of the Earth is in sunlight during?
During an equinox, or an equilux.
Which way is earth tilted during the summer?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
Is the north end of Earths axis tilted away from the sun during an equinox?
No. The Earth's axis is directly overhead at the Equator, therefore the axis isn't north or south on the Equinox.
When the earth is not tilted and the day and night are the same length what is it called?
the Equinox.

What is Equinox Precession?
a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete ---- Many geologists think Earth's climatic cycle is due to equinox precession, a process that takes approximately 23,000 years to complete. During equinox precession, Earth wobbles on its axis, causing the degree to which the Earth is tilted on its axis to vary. This variance produces changes in the amount of solar radiation reaching different parts of Earth's surface, thus influencing the global climate. During some parts of this cycle, Earth is cooler and has ice ages. During other parts of this cycle, Earth experiences global warming.
What four events occur as a result of the earth revolving around the sun every 365 days?
The main events are: 1. Winter solstice - when the earth is tilted towards the sun. 2. Spring equinox - when day and night are equal in length. 3. Summer solstice - when the earth is tilted away from the sun. 4. Autumnal equinox - when day and night are equal in length.
