ecliptic crosses the equator twice a year. On March 20, known as the vernal (spring) equinox, the Sun starts its
northward journey from the equator toword the Tropic of Cancer. The interval of time from one vernal equinox to the next, known as tropical year, is 365.242 days. The southward motion of the Sun from the equator start on September 22 and the day is called autumnal equinox. On these dates, day and night become
equal 10 at all latitudes.
