Note: These Challenge Questions coincide with the Spring 2006 Reports Challenge Question #6 From: Laura Watercutter <lwatercutter@nk.k12.oh.us> Date: Thu Mar 30 2006 - 10:44:50 EST It occurs because when the earth moves it goes around and around. And on the equinox the earth is in the same spot and the sun hits the same spot on the same day. The sun is on its axis so when the sun hits earth it hits one part of earth and the rest does not.
