"Try to explain in your own words or with a diagram why the equinox
occurs everywhere on Earth at the same time. Then explain why sunrise
and sunset happen at different times in different places on Earth."
Elizabeth and Laryn aka Harry Potter Freaks say: The Vernal Equinox
occurs everywhere at the same time because the tilt on the axis at
that point is almost straight. The sunrise and sunset occur at
different times in different places because the Earth rotates, and the
Sun can only light up one part of the Earth at a time.
