Fun Facts from EarthSky.org
- The fastest sunsets and sunrises of the year happen at the equinoxes. We’re talking here about the length of time it takes for the whole sun to sink below the horizon.
- no matter where you live on Earth, with the exception of the North and South Pole. At the equinoxes, the sun appears overhead at noon as seen from Earth’s equator
- The sun is on the celestial equator, and the celestial equator intersects all of our horizons at points due east and due west. Voila! The sun rises due east and sets due west.
- In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox brings earlier sunrises, later sunsets and sprouting plants.
- At the equinox, the sun crosses the celestial equator to enter the sky’s Northern Hemisphere.
