Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2006 Reports Mystery Class Challenge question #6 From: by way of Journey North <joyphiltx@sbcglobal.net> Date: Thu Mar 30 2006 - 10:45:31 EST The equinox occurs at the same time everywhere on the Earth because the earth's orbit around the sun causes the whole earth not to be tilted toward/away from the sun. The earth rotates each day and only the portion of the earth facing the sun gets "sunrise"; the other portion is in darkness and experiences night.
