Question

The days and nights are equal throughout the year at the ______.

Options

• Tropic of Capricorn

• Equator

• Arctic Circle

Answer 1

The days and nights are equal throughout the year at the equator.

Explanation:

At the Equator, the length of day and night remains nearly equal throughout the year, each lasting about 12 hours. This is because the Sun is directly overhead at the Equator during the equinoxes, causing equal day and night durations all year round. Other latitudes experience variations due to Earth’s tilt and orbit.
