Answer:There is approximately equal length of night and day in all places of the earth during equinoxes.

Explanation: At some point in the earth's revolution around the sun, it's observed that the earth's axis doesn't tilt towards nor away from the sun.

So this results to nearly equal amount of darkness and daylight across the earth. This happens just twice in a year around March 20-21 and September 22-23.

Answer:

The length and duration of the day time and the length and duration of the night time are the same all over the planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equinox is known as the period of time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. This occurs twice each year.

it is the moment at which the center of the visible Sun is directly above the equator.

At Equinox, the daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. Although, They are not totally and exactly equal.
