Q8. At which place on earth are there days & nights of equal length always? Q8. At which place on earth are there days & nights of equal length always?
(A) Poles (A) Poles
(B) Equator (B) Equator
(C) Prime Meridian (C) Prime Meridian
(D) Nowhere (D) Nowhere
Answer: (B) Equator Answer: (B) Equator
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.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.
