The Equator is an imaginary line (great circle) on the Earth's surface, which is equidistant from both the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
An Equinox is either of the two times during a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator. At this time, the length of day and night are approximately equal as the Sun is exactly above the Equator.
The vernal equinox occurs around March 21, when the Sun moves north across the celestial equator. The autumnal equinox falls around September 23, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator going south.
What else can I help you with?
An equinox occurs when the sun is where?
For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.For someone at the equator, during an equinox the Sun will get to the zenith.
What occurs when the sun's most direct rays hit the equator and the day experiences equal amounts of light and dark?
The Sun is never ON the equator, it is above the equator twice a year - the spring equinox and the fall equinox.
What are the three difference between equator and prime meridian?
differences between equator and prime meridian
What is the difference between the summer and winter equinox?
About 6 months :o)
Where is the sun in the autumnal equinox?
Exactly straight over the equator. It's a tiny bit north of the equator just before the Autumnal Equinox, and a tiny bit south of the equator just after it. In other words, the sun is 'moving' south. At the Vernal Equinox, it's also precisely over the equator, but 'moving' north.
What is it called when the sun is directly above the equator?
This happens twice a year at on of the "equinox" (the spring equinox or the fall equinox) At noon if you are on the equator at thet oment the Sun is at the "Zenith".
How many degrees north or south of the equator at noon for the March Equinox?
At the equinox (either one of them) the Sun is directly above the equator, neither north nor south.
Twice a year the sun is directly over the equator this is called the?
The Sun is directly overhead the equator two times per year, known as the Equinoxes. In the northern hemisphere, the Spring Equinox occurs on March 20 and the Fall Equinox occurs on September 22.
What is it when the sun is directly over earth's equator?
The equinox.
On what line of latitude is the sun directly over at the Spring and Autumn Equinox?
the sun is at 0 degrees during an equinox. It is aligned with the equator.
Where are the sun's rays most direct during an equinox?
During an equinox, the sun's rays are most direct at the Earth's equator. This is because during an equinox, the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that the sun is directly over the equator, leading to equal day and night lengths at all latitudes.
What where the difference between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
everything
