How do you find celestial points?
You measure the angles from east from the first point of Aries (which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox) and north from the ecliptic (declination).
What is an equionox?
Occurs when the sun is directly above Earths equator
The places the Sun crosses the equator are called the?
equinoxes
Latitude line that the sun crosses to start spring?
Zero latitude -- the equator
What are the two points at which the sun is farthest from the celestial equator?
june 21 december 21
The Sun crosses the celestial equator going north This is known as the spring?
equinox
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.

How solstices and equinoxes different?
Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path crosses the celestial equator. Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
What is the difference between equator and equinox?
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 is an equionox?
Occurs when the sun is directly above Earths equator
The celestial equator always crosses the horizon at the east point and west point?
This is true. The celestial equator ... the line of zero declination ... crosses the horizon due east and due west. However, the ecliptic ... the apparent path of the sun through the stars ... is inclined to the celestial equator, and can hit the horizon anywhere within 23.5 degrees north or south of the east-west directions, depending on the time of day and day of the year.
What is the origin of the word 'equinox'?
1) Either of two times of the year when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's equator and day and night are of equal length 2) (astronomy) either of the two celestial points at which the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic known as equinox yash patel
When sun move from southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere?
The Sun moves from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere around March 20 (or March 21 during leap years) of each year. On this day the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north. It is called Spring Equinox and on this date the day and night are nearly equal 12 hours each all over the world and the earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north of the earth and the sun.
Are there two different first days of spring meteorological and or astronomical?
Yes, meteorologists have decided they they regard the first day of March in the northern hemisphere as the first day of spring. In astronomical terms the first day of spring is when the sun crosses the celestial equator which occurs around 20/21st March. In the southern hemisphere spring begins in September. Again on the first of the month or at the equinox when the sun once more crosses the celestial equator.
The places the Sun crosses the equator are called the?
equinoxes
