Days are longer during the summer solstice and shorter during the winter solstice. In contrast, during the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length. Therefore, the statement that days are longer during a solstice is true, while the statement about equinoxes is false.
In the Northern hemisphere, daylight hours decrease after the autumnal equinox.
During the northern hemisphere winter, the days are longer in the southern hemisphere, because it is summer there. During the southern hemisphere's winter the days are short.
Seasonal variations in the length of days as well as in climate are the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis, which results in the Northern Hemisphere being pointed slightly away from the sun during the winter, slightly toward the sun in the summer, and perpendicular to the sun during the spring and autumn.
When night and day are approximately of equal length occurs twice per year. In the northern hemisphere these days are called the Vernal Equinox (20-21 March) and the Autumnal Equinox (22-23 September). However, as these seasons are reversed in the southern hemisphere, current usage is the March Equinox and the September Equinox.
Days are longer during the summer solstice and shorter during the winter solstice. In contrast, during the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length. Therefore, the statement that days are longer during a solstice is true, while the statement about equinoxes is false.
We don't have your statement, but you are asking about the equinox.
Between vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox.
After the Vernal Equinox the days get shorter as winter approaches.
No. At an equinox, which happens in March and September, the amount of daylight and darkness are about equal.
In the Northern hemisphere, daylight hours decrease after the autumnal equinox.
After the Autumn equinox in March, days start to get noticeably shorter, while the nights are longer. This then goes the opposite way after the vernal equinox in September.
The day becomes longer than the night during the spring equinox, which usually occurs around March 20th or 21st in the northern hemisphere. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator and day and night are approximately equal in length. After the spring equinox, days start becoming longer than nights as we move towards summer.
The North has shorter days between the Autumnal equinox and the Spring equinox, and longer days for the other half of the year. In the South, it is the other way around. Averaged over the course of a year the day lengths are the same.
Yes, after the shortest day of the year, which occurs during the winter solstice, the days gradually begin to get longer. This change happens due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun, leading to increasing daylight hours. By the time of the spring equinox, daylight and nighttime are approximately equal, and the trend of longer days continues into the summer.
The spring equinox is March 21, The fall equinox is September 23
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.
