Day and night are of equal length throughout the year at the equator.
The time from one sunrise to the next is about 117 Earth days. The length of day and night are roughly equal at about 58 Earth days each.
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.

The length of day and night is equal at the Vernal and Autumnal equinox.
The solstices occur at the points where the Earth is either closest to, or farthest away from, the Sun. The equinoxes are the mid-points between the solstices - where the day & night are of equal length.
yes
Because of the amount of sunlight changing from the earth being on its axis
An equinox occurs when the length of the day is equal to the length of the night. Here on Earth, it occurs around March 21 (the Vernal Equinox) and September 21 (the Autumnal Equinox).
The time from one sunrise to the next is about 117 Earth days. The length of day and night are roughly equal at about 58 Earth days each.
1) Near the equator, year round. 2) Almost anywhere on Earth, around the equinoxes.
during fall and spring
Either of two times of the year when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's quarter and day and night are of equal length
Yes, during an equinox the length of the day and the length of the night are actually the same.
During the Autumn equinox the length of the day and night are nearly equal. The length of the day on the equinox is approximately twelve hours.
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.

No. That would be an Equinox. The solstice is when the earth is tilted at maximum angle, (23 1/2 degrees) from the plane of the orbit around the sun. Either north or south pole is closer. The exact difference of night and day will vary depending on where you are on earth.
