Its called an equinox. There is the Spring and the Autumnal Equinox. This occurs when the Sun is directly above the equator. It means equal day, where the days and nights are of the same length. See the related link for more information.

Does the earths axis spins at an angle to the sun?

It spins on an axis that is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that first one pole, then the other, is tipped toward the Sun as the planet circles the Sun. When the North Pole is inclined toward the Sun, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. When the South Pole is inclined toward the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere has summer and the northern has winter. Twice a year (spring and fall equinoxes) neither pole is tipped toward the Sun for a brief moment. On that day, day and night are about equally long (12 hours) for the entire planet. The axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular to the orbital plane.

How many arrangements can be made with the letters sociological?

There are 12 factorial or 479,001,600 permutations of the letters in the word SOCIOLOGICAL. However, since the letter O occurs three times, the letter I occurs twice, the letter L occurs twice, and the letter C occurs twice, you have to divide that by 8 (O), 2 (I), 2 (L), and 2 (C) giving you 7,484,400 distinctpermutations.
