Answer 1

During the equinoxes, days and nights are equal in length everywhere.

The correct statement about the equinoxes is A

Step-by-step explanation:

. days and nights are equal in length everywhere. During the equinoxes, which occur in spring and fall around March 20 or 21 and September 22 or 23, the line of direct sunlight hits the equator. This results in equal lengths of days and nights all around the world. It is a time when the Earth's axis is neither tilted towards nor away from the sun.
