What does ‘equinox’ mean?
A Equal tilt
B Equal day
C Equal night
The Earth’s tilt as it orbits the sun brings with it our seasons and longer or shorter days, depending on its position. But on the two equinoxes, both Northern and Southern Hemispheres get roughly equal amounts of day and night. The word has its roots in Latin, with ‘aequus’ meaning equal and ‘nox’ meaning night.
The correct answer is Equal night.
