Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -On 21st March and September 23rd, direct rays of the sun fall on the equator. At this position, neither of the poles is tilted towards the sun; so, the whole earth experiences equal days and equal nights. This is called an equinox.
Detailed explanation-2: -On the South Pole, the Sun will be up 24 hours. Perfect opportunity to see the Midnight Sun! On the equator, the day is always a little longer than 12 hours all year round. On the equinox, the tilt of Earth’s axis is perpendicular to the Sun’s rays as in the illustration.
