You can set up an experiment in your yard to track the shadows the sun throws on an equinox. Put a stick (aka, a gnomon) in the ground or through a piece of cardboard and then mark the tip of its shadow throughout the day. It will trace a perfectly straight line. Other times of the year it will trace a frowny face during northern hemisphere summer and a smiley face during northern hemisphere winter. A straight line will happen only on an equinox.
Thank you so much Nat Geo! I always love your videos!
Great presentation.
this was so cool to learn about , ty
Thank you

You should mention "only in 4 seasons continents", because I live with 12hrs day & 12hrs night everyday, where equinox means hotter than normal..

Ok, we were doing just fine until 0:58 the solstice term came up. Whats that? They mean the same? Ok, we'll keep digging for complete knowledge. This vid is nice though! 2 thumbs up! :)

What's wrong with Autumn? I remember when people used to call Autumn Autumn, instead of Fall. Choices of words affect people. So if you are in the middle of Fall, your subconscious mind could interpret that as you being in the middle of your fall, as in down fall.
0:08 It should be "They occur twice in one revolution of a planet around the sun" Isn't it?

Yes. Even on Uranus, the Sun incides perpendicular to its surface in its Equator twice a "Uranus year". Time between equinoxes is 42 Earth years approximately.
Is that our new home?
In May 20 it's called vernal equinox..

As above, so below.

@Kit Canyon its when the sun is at the tropics. summer solstice is when the sun is at the tropic of cancer June 21, winter solstice is when the sun is circling above the tropic of Capricorn, December 21. in the winter the sun and moon move faster then in the summer, you can observe it , especially if you have a good camera. make some videos in June and in December and compare.

This video is so busy. Take this one minute and 26 seconds to teach with clarity and simplicity. There's no need for fancy graphics with all sorts of movement on the screen at once. The only movement that matters is the earth revolving around the sun while maintaining its axis of rotation facing in the same direction and always at 23.4 degrees.

Why would every planet have this 2x per year? They would need to be tilted, for that. Otherwise they would constantly be perpendicular to the Sun, not just 2x year
@kitcanyon658
Жыл бұрын
Well, most planets do have some tilt although mercury’s is pretty much zero.
not twice in a year of every planet of solar system. It is my opinion earth revolves round sun in 1 year. revolution time varies for other planets of solar system. also the angle planet rotates. I have n't read fully. 0:11

No, National Geographic, the first phrase you put in this video is not accurate to describe an equinox. Equinoxes are the moments of the year when the Sun rays incide perpendicular to Earth surface in the Equator. This causes that the number of daylight hours are approximately the same in all the places of the Earth.
