Does an equinox occur halfway between a solstices?

Pretty much, yes. You have the spring (vernal) and autumn (autumnal) equinoxes, so it's around that time. Midsummer's day is around the first day of summer. But the equinoxes aren't precisely (to the smallest fraction of a second) halfway between, because the velocity of earth's orbit is constantly changing throughout the year.


Which type of tide occurs when the sun the moon and the earth are aligned?

Spring Tides. That is the High tide is very high and the low tide is very low. When the Sun, Earth and Moon are at 'right-angles to each other, then we have Neap Tides. The height range between high and low tides is much less than Spring Tides.


What has a bigger shadow moon or earth?

The Earth's shadow is larger than the Moon's shadow because the Earth is much larger in size and has a greater surface area for casting shadows. The Moon's shadow is smaller in comparison, especially during a solar eclipse when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun.


How much time passes between two successive sunspot minima?

The average time between two successive sunspot minima is around 11 years, known as a solar cycle. This period is characterized by a decrease and increase in sunspot activity. However, the length of each solar cycle can vary, ranging from around 9 to 14 years.


How long is a lunar night?

It really depends if it is Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter. When it is winter, the nights are much longer. When it is summer, the nights are much shorter. When it is Spring or Fall, the night time'will be as long as the day simply because of the Equinox.

Are day and night equal on the spring equinox?

Yes, pretty much so. On the Equinox (which happens to be today, March 20, 2014) there is exactly 12 hours between sunrise and sunset. Bear in mind that it's light enough to see for a few minutes before sunrise and a few minutes after sunset, so it SEEMS like the day is a bit longer than the night - but they are equal. That's what "equinox" means; "equal nights".
