The sun emits different amounts of energy all the time, however the hemispheres receive equal amounts of SUNLIGHT on the Equinoxes (approx. September 21 and March 21).

Are you referring to the northern and southern, or the eastern and western?
At all times of the year, the eastern and western receive the same amount of energy each day.
At the vernal and autumnal equinox, the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of energy.
In other words, the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of energy in about June, when the northern hemisphere is making the transition to summer and in the southern hemisphere, when they're making the transition to winter. (i had to look up what "equinox" means)

Wiki User
∙ 11y agowhen the earth tilts it receives the same amount of energy because the planets revolve around it.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoAt the spring and fall equinox, the Sun is directly over the Earth's equator, i.e., right between both hemispheres. That's what "equinox" means.
