Answer 1

Answer:

1. Day And Night equal

2. The June solstice happens around June 21 when the Sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer. The December solstice takes place around December 21. On this day the Sun is precisely over the Tropic of Capricorn.

3. spring Equinox 2021 in North Hemisphere will be at 3:07 pm on Saturday 20 March

4.At the December solstice, Earth is positioned in its orbit so that the sun stays below the North Pole horizon. As seen from 23 1/2 degrees south of the equator, at the imaginary line encircling the globe known as the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun shines directly overhead at noon.

5. During the two equinoxes the circle of illumination cuts through the North Pole and the South Pole. On the June solstice the circle of illumination is tangent to the Arctic Circle (66.5° N) and the region above this latitude receives 24 hours of daylight.
