Can you predict seasons?
The seasons are already figured out . . . the seasons change on the equinoxes (days and nights of equal length) and on the soltices (days and nights are the most different in length)
Why does equator receive equal day and night on 21 June?
June 21st is the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and for the northern hemisphere it is the longest day of the year. In the Southern hemisphere June 21st is the winter solstice. This means it is the shortest day of the year. This happens due to the earth's 23 degree tilt. The equator, however, is right between the hemispheres. So the days and nights are of equal length.
What does the spring equinox mean?
In the northern hemisphere it is the 21st of March. In the southern hemisphere it is the 21st of September.In the northern hemisphere it is the 21st of March.

What event signals the beginning of summer?
Some events that signal the beginning of summer are:Memorial Dayschool getting out for the summerpublic swimming pools openingweather getting hotter
How many times per year do you have days in which the number of hours day and night equal what are the names of those days?
When night and day are approximately of equal length occurs twice per year. In the northern hemisphere these days are called the Vernal Equinox (20-21 March) and the Autumnal Equinox (22-23 September). However, as these seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere, current usage is the March Equinox and the September Equinox.

Why are day's longer in the summer?
Ther sun spends more time in the northern hemisphere, thus longer days and shorter nights. This is reversed when the sun spends more time in the southern hemisphere. At the equinox days, the sun spends time at the equator and the days and nights are equal.
What hemisphere is larger the Northern or the Southern?
They are equal.
Why does it get darker sooner in the winter?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. In the winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so the path you travel on the Earth is more in the dark. Note that this is not true all over the Earth. On the equator, the days and nights are always equal. In the Southern hemisphere, it's the opposite of the Northern hemisphere.
Why does equator receive equal day and night on 21 June?
June 21st is the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and for the northern hemisphere it is the longest day of the year. In the Southern hemisphere June 21st is the winter solstice. This means it is the shortest day of the year. This happens due to the earth's 23 degree tilt. The equator, however, is right between the hemispheres. So the days and nights are of equal length.
What divides the Earth in two equal parts the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere?
The equator
What are Two equal halfs of the earth?
Northern and southern hemisphere. And eastern and western hemisphere.
Compare and contrast northern and southern hemisphere?
A big difference/similarity is seasons. The northern and southern hemisphere have opposite solstices, but their equinoxes are the same. So when the northern half is having summer, the southern half is having winter. But the North's fall is the South's spring, so they both have equal days and nights. A difference is population/pollution. Approximately 90% of the population resides within the northern hemisphere. Along with most of the population is most of the pollution too. Another difference is moon phases. The northern hemisphere has moon phases change from right to left. Waxing moons gain illumination from right to left, and waning moons lose illumintation from right to left. But in the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. The moon changes from left to right. These are the main similarities and differences i can think of. Hope they help!
What are one of two equal halves of the earth?
A hemisphere is exactly 1/2 of the earth. We speak of the Western Hemisphere, the Eastern Hemisphere. the Southern Hemisphere, and the Northern Hemisphere.

What event signals the beginning summer?
It should be remembered that the seasons are diametrically opposed in the hemispheres. When it is summer in the northern hemisphere it is winter in the southern one. Seasons officially start and end on the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices are the days on which daylight or night time are the longest. When the day is longest in the northern hemisphere night is longest in the southern. The equinoxes are when day time and night time are equal which varies depending on your latitude. (Except at the equator)
March 21st is an equinox What part of Earth is directly beneath the Sun on that day?
Don't understand your question. Equinox means "equal night", meaning the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere both receive equal amounts of day and night. It signifies the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere and the beginning of Fall in the southern hemisphere.
