At which place on earth are there days & nights of equal length always? [#2486]

The Equator is the unique imaginary line on Earth where days and nights are of nearly equal length (approximately 12 hours each) every single day of the year. This phenomenon occurs because the Equator is always positioned perpendicular to the Sun's rays, regardless of Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun. The line that divides the illuminated half of the Earth from the dark half (the terminator) consistently bisects the Equator almost perfectly, ensuring a consistent balance between daylight and darkness. This contrasts sharply with other latitudes, especially those closer to the poles, where day and night lengths vary significantly with the seasons.

Africa is the only continent that is crossed by all three of these lines of latitude: the Equator, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Tropic of Cancer. Only the Tropic of Cancer pass through Asia and North America. Only the Tropic of Capricorn pass through Australia. Only the Equator and Tropic of Capricorn pass through South America. None of the Equator, the Tropic of Capricorn or the Tropic of Cancer pass through Europe.
