What are the places where the ecliptic crosses the equator are called?
The places where the ecliptic crosses the equator are called the vernal equinox (where the Sun crosses from south to north) and the autumnal equinox (where the Sun crosses from north to south). These are the points where day and night are equal in length, marking the beginning of spring and autumn, respectively.
Latitude line that the sun crosses to start spring?
Zero latitude -- the equator
Why do tropical areas located near the equator have the warmest climates?
Tropical areas near the equator have the warmest climate because the sun's rays are pointed at the middle of the Earth on its axis, called the equator. The directness of the sun's rays obviously causes heat which is why the places around the Earth's equator are warm. :-)
Are places along the equator very warm why or not why or why not?
yes, because the equator gets a lot of sun:)
Which phenomenon occurs when the Sun crosses the plane of Earths equator?
The Equinoxes - Autumnal and Vernal (or Spring). The hours of daylight equal the hours of darkness.

The sun is on the celestial equator at the times of the?
The equinoxes are the two points on the celestial equator there the ecliptic(the sun's apparent annual path through the stars) crosses it.Note that the equinoxes are not events or dates. They are points on the mapof the stars.
When does the sun pass from the southern celestial to the northern celestial hemisphere?
The point in the sky where the sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north is the point called the "Vernal Equinox". The sun reaches that point and passes it on March 21 every year.

Why is the climate near the equator warmer than the other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.

Why does the equator make places warmer?
because the sun shines directly there
Does the sun move north or south at the equator?
The sun is north of the equator for 6 months every year, and south of the equator during the other 6 months. In order to accomplish these gyrations, it crosses the equator twice a year ... on March 21 moving north, and on September 22 moving south.
What is an equionox?
An equinox is when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in day and night being nearly equal lengths all over the world. There are two equinoxes each year: the vernal equinox in March and the autumnal equinox in September.
