Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the autumnal equinox.

At the equinox. , duration of day and night are equal all over the globe . It happens because sun is just over the equator , going towards the south .

After 6 months of night , day starts breaking in southern hemisphere. For next 6 months there is likely to be day in the south pole.

The sun will be seen near the horizon moving on a circular path all through the day parallel to the horizon without setting.
