Answer:

Northern and southern Hemisphere receive the same amount of energy from the sun during the month of March and September.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Due to the axial tilt of the earth the seasons of the Northern Hemisphere is exactly opposite of season in southern hemisphere and Vice-versa.
  • Latitudes between The Tropic of cancer in the Northern hemisphere and tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere receive direct Rays of Sun at least once a year.
  • When the direct rays are falling on the northern latitudes, the northern Hemisphere experiences summer (May-August) again when direct rays fall on Southern Latitudes, the southern Hemisphere experiences summer (October-December).
  • But in this process Direct rays of sun falls on the equator twice in a year.
  • First during the month of March when it is spring in Northern hemisphere/ autumn in southern Hemisphere and second time during September when it is spring in southern hemisphere/ Autumn in Northern hemisphere.
  • This time Both the Hemisphere experiences equal temperature condition.
  • Thus during the month of March and September both the hemisphere receive same amount of heat energy.
