Why are temperatures more mild during a equinox?

The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.


Why do we have more daytime hours during summer than in winter?

Between the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox, more than half of the hemisphere is illuminated by the sun, peaking at 63% illumination on the summer solstice. Likewise, between the autumnal equinox and the vernal equinox, less than half of the hemisphere is illuminated by the sun, reaching the minimum of 37% illumination on the winter solstice. As the Earth rotates, you are rotating through more sunlight and less darkness during the spring and summer months, and you are rotating through more darkness and less sunlight during the fall and winter months. Since the speed at which the Earth rotates is constant, you are spending more time in the sunlight in the spring and summer and more time in the darkness in the fall and winter.


During the autumnal equinox what does the sun do?

The Sun doesn't do anything at such. The Autumnal equinox is more down to the position of the Earth on its orbit of the Sun. The sun is directly over the equator and the amount of daylight and darkness is about equal around the world.


Which is more hard lead or mild steel?

Mild steel


Is echidna nocturnal?

Echidnas in northern Australia are nocturnal. On occasion, they are seen during the day when the weather is mild. Echidnas in southern Australia tend to be more active during the day, especially during winter.


What is the average temperature in spring in New Mexico?

The temperature in New Mexico in the winter is usually in the 30s or 40s (Fahrenheit). However, the weather the rest of the year is more mild.


Will the latter days be shortened?

Due to the axial tilt of the Earth, from September 21st (the Autumnal Equinox) forward, the amount of sunlight that reaches the Northern Hemisphere will be decrease more and more, up until the Winter Solstice (December 21st). So, during that period, the days will be shortened. After that date (Dec 21), they will grow longer, up until the Vernal Equinox.


Which has more atomic mass cast iron or mild steel?

mild steel


How do particles move during lower temperature?

Particles will move more slowly at lower temperatures.


What constitutes mild dehydration?

Mild dehydration is the loss of no more than 5% of the body's fluid


How long is the northern hemisphere exposed to vertical rays of the sun?

Some part of the northern hemisphere is exposed to vertical rays of the Sun from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox (slightly more than half a year because the Earth is further away from the sun during the northern hemisphere summer, it moves slower along it orbit).


Does mild steel become harder when heated?

Mild Steel is not hard and brittle. Once Mild Steel is subjected to heating and then allowed to cool, it forms different compounds of steel having different properties. This depends upon 1. The heating temperature 2. The time allowed for cooling. When MS is heated to high temperatures so that it appears red hot and then suddenly cooled down to ambient temperature, it forms a compound called Martensite, which is hard. This is because there is more carbon in Martensite then in Mild Steel. This process of altering properties of compounds by heat is called heat treatment.
