Everyone, kindly read: B. Interaction: What is solstice? Al right how about equinox? Very good observation class. Now let us further widen our understanding about the solstices and equinox. Are their even a difference between the two? All right very good. Both of them are different in the sense that they are the opposite of each other. a. identify the different causes of seasons; b. explain how solstice and equinox occurs; and c. appreciate the importance of family bonding. Sir, a solstice is farthest north or south on the equator. Sir, equinox is when the sun is right over the equator in between two tropics. Yes, sir. CHRIST- CENTEREDNESS EXCELLENCE MISSIONARY Now what do I mean by that? Let us first start with solstices. A solstice is the farthest north and farthest south from the equator. Now class look at the image. What tropic is being shined at the north? How about the south? Sir, tropic of Cancer. All right very good. Now class there are two types of solstice. The first one is the summer Sir, tropic of Capricorn. solstice. This marks the beginning of summer and it has the longest day of the year. The second is the winter solstice which marks the beginning of winter which has the shortest day of the year. Summer solstice begin in June 20 to 21 while winter solstice begin at December 21 to 22. Now class, how do we know if that day is summer or winter? All right. It depends on the location. Depending on the hemisphere you live in determines what solstice you have. In the northern hemisphere the sun shines in June directly on the tropic of cancer. Sir, depending of the location. CHRIST- CENTEREDNESS EXCELLENCE On the other hand, in winter solstice the sun shines on the tropic of capricorn in December. It is flipped on the southern hemisphere. Now let us proceed to the Equinox. Have you heard about equinox? All right. Equinoxes is when the sun is right over the equator in between the two tropics. It marks the beginning of spring which is in March 21 and Autumn in September 23. We call the beginning of spring the vernal equinox while the beginning of autumn is the autumnal equinox. Now during the equninoxes both day and night are the same. Equi class means equal while nox means night. With that in mind the day in the nigh in the equinox are equal. Remember class that the solstice is the longest and shortest days of the year while equinox occurs when the day and night are equally as long. Valuing: What is the significance of learning about the seasons? Yes, sir. MISSIONARY CHRIST- CENTEREDNESS V.
