    Question

    Which option can best describe equinox?

    A.

    Earth is going around the sun.

    B.

    North pole is tilted towards sun.

    C.

    Neither of the poles is tilted towards sun.

    D.

    South pole is tilted towards sun.

    Correct option is C

    The option that best describes an equinox is Neither of the poles is tilted towards the sun.
    · There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes.
    · On 21st March and 23rd September, 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 Equinox.
