Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The autumnal equinox marks the point in the year where the Northern Hemisphere starts to tilt away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights. It is not the shortest day of the year for the Arctic Circle, as this distinction belongs to the winter solstice. Therefore, the association between the autumnal equinox and the shortest day of the year for the Arctic Circle is incorrect.
