The vernal or autumnal equinox happens.
The amount of sunlight varies monthly due to the changing tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the sun. This causes different latitudes to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in the changing seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere, for example, the summer months receive more sunlight than the winter months due to this tilt.
As you move further out into the solar system, the amount of solar energy that planets receive decreases. This is because the intensity of sunlight weakens with distance due to the inverse square law. Planets like Pluto receive significantly less solar energy than planets closer to the sun, impacting their surface conditions and climates.
Yes
True. The depth of the water in an aquatic ecosystem affects the amount of sunlight that can penetrate the water. This influences photosynthesis and the distribution of plants and animals in the ecosystem.
The equinox does not have a direct effect on the amount of sunlight. The amount of sunlight received on Earth is primarily determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its position in its orbit around the Sun. During the equinox, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes equal amounts of sunlight to fall on the northern and southern hemispheres, resulting in roughly equal day and night durations around the world.
Polar regions
When the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of sunlight, it typically occurs during the equinoxes, which happen in March and September. During these times, the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths for both hemispheres. This balance affects seasonal changes, as both hemispheres experience the transition to spring or autumn simultaneously. Consequently, temperatures and daylight hours are more uniform across the globe.

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).

Equinox (autumnal or spring)
That would be at the spring and autumn equinoxes.
