Question

Days and nights are not equal in length.

Open in App
Solution

The variation in the lengths of days and nights occurs because the Earth revolves around the Sun, with its axis always inclined at an angle of 66.5°. This causes longer days and shorter nights in summer in the southern hemisphere. This variation between the lengths of days and nights increases with increasing distance from the Equator to the poles.
