difference between equinox and solstice. with line in between |
|
Answer» A solstice occurs when the sun is at its farthest point from the earth’s equatorial plane, resulting in longer days and nights. It marks the longest day of the year which falls in summer. It is also during a solstice when the shortest day of the year is experienced, in wintertime. During an equinox, the sun is at its point nearest to the equatorial plane. Because of this, daytime and nighttime are distributed (almost) equally for two separate days; one in March, the other in April. While a solstice happens in the summer and winter, an equinox takes place at the beginning of spring and the beginning of fall. |
