Answer:

(◔‿◔)(◔‿◔)

Explanation:

Rotation of the Earth causes night and day to alternate. Since we learned that the Earth's axis is tilted and hence the equator is not facing the Sun directly, different places on Earth would experience unequal length of days and nights—not exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night all the time.

At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes. The "nearly" equal hours of day and night is due to refraction of sunlight or a bending of the light's rays that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of the sun is below the horizon.

Bottom line: There's slightly more day than night on the day of an equinox. That's because the sun is a disk, not a point of light, and because Earth's atmosphere refracts (bends) sunlight.
