Question

Complete the sentence.

The total amount of sunlight that approaches Earth is about _______ in September as in March

half as much
twice as much
the same

Answer 1

C). The same

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question, the aggregate sunlight received during the months of September and March is almost the same as both of these months witness an equinox marking the beginning of spring(in March) and the fall(in September). March 20 or 21 and September 22 or 23 are the two days when there is an intersection of the apparent path of the sun and the sun's center is right above the celestial equator. On these days, an equal amount of sunlight is received throughout the Earth(excluding the extreme poles) i.e. 12 hours of sunlight and darkness for 12 hours. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
