Question

‘Equinoxes’ are the two days of the year when the sun is directly above the earth’s equator, due to which the days and nights are of nearly equal length everywhere on the earth. Find the name of the month of autumn equinox using suitable properties of integers by solving the following questions.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: During the spring and autumn equinoxes, i.e. on 21 March and 23 September, the Sun is exactly overhead the Equator and the North and South Poles lie at an equal distance from the Sun. This is the reason days and nights are of equal length throughout the world on these two days.
