Quizplus · Accepted Answer

On the equinox, neither the northern nor southern hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the sun, resulting in roughly equal amounts of daylight and darkness around the world. Therefore, points north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle do not receive 24 hours of daylight, as stated in options A and C, and they do not receive 24 hours of darkness, as stated in option D.
