Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The March equinox marks the point when the center of the Sun crosses the equator, resulting in equal amounts of daylight and darkness at all latitudes between the poles. This phenomenon is also known as the vernal or spring equinox, but it occurs in the Northern Hemisphere rather than the Southern Hemisphere. The direct rays of the Sun strike perpendicular at the equator, not the Tropic of Capricorn (answer B). Day length does not increase or decrease significantly as one moves north or south of the equator (answer A).
