Question

during which two months do both the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of energy from the sun?
december and june
january and july
march and september
may and november

Explanation:

During the equinoxes (March equinox around March 20 - 21 and September equinox around September 22 - 23), the Sun is directly above the equator. This results in both hemispheres (Northern and Southern) receiving approximately the same amount of solar energy. In December (winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere) and June (summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the hemispheres receive very different amounts of solar energy. Similarly, January and July (which are near the solstice months) and May and November (not equinox months) do not have equal solar energy distribution between the hemispheres.

Answer:

March and September
