It's an "equinox". That happens twice each year.

It occurs twice a year, when the Sun's apparent position is at the celestial
equinoxes.

What four events occur as a result of the earth's 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.

Why do length of days change?
when the day is longer than night because the slow of the rotation
How do the tilt of the earth the orbit of the earth around the sun and the earth's rotation cause temperature differences between daytime and night time?
Because in the daytime the earth is tilted to where it gets more direct sunlight, while in the night time the earth is tilted to where sunlight is not direct and it's turned away from the sun so the temperture lowers.
Earth is tilted on its axis?
Tilted as compared to what? The only comparison that actually makes any difference is that the Earth's axis of rotation is "tilted" at about 23.5 degrees compared to the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This "axial tilt" causes the seasons.
When the earth is not tilted and the day and night are the same length what is it called?
the Equinox.
What if the earth wasent tilted?
There would be no seasons, and no change in the length of day and night, anywhere on Earth.
Has the earth tilted over?
The Earth has always been 'tilted'. The planet is tilted by about 11 degrees from the vertical. The tilt helps to create the seasons - and is responsible for the varying length of day & night.

Why the night why the day?
there is night and day because of the movement of the earth on its axis. It is called as rotation. The earth is also tilted in 23.5 degrees so sunlight can emit light through the equator
What are the reasons for variation in the length of days and night on the earth?
The earth is tilted. As the earth revolves around the sun it rotates on its axis, on it's tilt. This causes different sides of the the planet to get different amounts of sunlight.
How does the length of daytime and night time affects the seasons?
The length of daylight or nighttime hours does not affect the seasons, but the seasons affect the length of daytime and nighttime hours. During the summer, the earth is tilted more toward the sun, resulting in longer daytime hours. During the winter months, the earth is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights.
If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
What would be the earth's length of days and night if it's axis were not tilted?
well the answer tp that is the earths length of days would be like mars which would go on for weeks. so 24 hours as we know it now would be 4 weeks if the axis wasnt tilted t
Is it daytime or nighttime when earth is tilted towards the sun?
The tilt of the Earth causes the seasons, not day or night. Day or night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
