The south pole gets 24 hours of daylight and the north pole gets 0 hours
during our winter solstice.
There are two days in the year when the day and night are
exactly equal in both the northern and southern hemisphere.
They occur September 21 and March 21. We call those fall
equinox and spring equinox.
It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the seasons. Without it, we
would have consistent temperatures all year. This impacts our
weather, climate, ability to grow crops, live in certain areas, and
enjoy the activities in each of the seasons.

be able to balance an egg on its end. What do you think?
