Which of the following conditions occur during equinox?
Answer Details
During an equinox, all places across the globe experience equal lengths of day and night, which is also called equilux. This occurs because during an equinox, the sun is positioned directly over the Earth's equator, which causes the distribution of daylight to be equal on both sides of the equator. This event occurs twice a year, typically around March 20th and September 22nd, and marks the beginning of spring and autumn respectively.
The other options are not true during an equinox. The first option, "The tropic of Cancer experiences longer day than the tropic of Capricorn," is not true because the equinox marks the time when the sun is directly above the equator and not the tropics. The second option, "All places across the globe experience equal lengths of day and night," is the correct answer, as explained above. The third option, "The length of day at the Equator is shorter than the tropic of Cancer," is also not true because the equator experiences equal lengths of day and night during an equinox. The fourth option, "The moon is star-shaped all through the night all over the world," is not related to an equinox and is not true in any case.
