Answer:

d. Equinox​

Step-by-step explanation:

A certain day in spring and autumn where the amount of daytime hours and nighttime hours are the same is called equinox.

Equinox occurs twice in a year on March 20 and September 23rd.

  • During an equinox, the south and north hemisphere of the earth are receiving equal amount of sunlight.
  • The opposite of equinox is solstice in which the duration of light is unequal.
  • The equator is the only great circle that is a line of latitude.
