Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vernal equinox marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and is the point at which Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the Sun, resulting in almost equal amounts of daylight and darkness at all locations on Earth. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as the length of daylight varies depending on the location and time of year. Option B is incorrect as the Sun passes through an observer's zenith only at noon and this varies depending on the location. Option C is incorrect as the position of the Sun on the horizon varies depending on the location and time of year.
