What is the relation between the North and South Poles and the circle of illumination on March 21 and September 22?
March 21 and September 22 are dates of equinox. On this date, not only do the seasons change, but at the poles, the sun either rises or sets for the year, depending on the pole. As well, on these dates, the polar circles -- about 66.5 degrees N and S -- experience the single 24-hour period with no sunset or no sunrise, again depending on the polar region. Between the circles and the poles, the period of annual no sunrise/ no sunset varies from the single 23-hour period at the circles to six months at the poles.
How many days in the year does the sun rise and set at the same hour dawn and dusk?
There are typically two days in the year when the sun rises and sets at the same hour, known as the equinoxes. These occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23. During these times, day and night are nearly equal in length.
What happens at the North and South Pole during both of the equinoxes?
Due to the continual tilt of the earth toward Polaris sometimes the North Pole faces the sun and sometimes it is hidden behind the rest of the earth. When the North Pole is in darkness, the South Pole is in light, and vice versa.
What is special about circumpolar stars?
Circumpolar stars are stars that never dip below the horizon for an observer at a certain latitude, making them visible year-round.
