Question

Which season is experienced in the northern hemisphere when sun apparently shifts from tropic of cancer to the equator?

• A. Spring
• B. Summer
• C. Autumn
• D. Winters

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Autumn

• When the sun apparently shifts from the Tropic of Cancer to the equator in the Northern Hemisphere, it signals the arrival of autumn.

• When the Sun appears to shift from the Tropic of Cancer to the Equator, the northern hemisphere experiences the autumnal equinox, which typically occurs around September 23 each year.

• During this time, day and night are approximately equal in length, and the Sun moves from its northernmost position (over the Tropic of Cancer) toward the Equator.

• This marks the official start of autumn (fall) in the northern hemisphere.
