Question

select all the correct answers. which of the following are valid names for the equinoxes? fall equinox partial equinox total equinox spring equincy

Explanation:

Equinoxes occur when the Sun is directly above the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night. The two valid equinoxes are the fall (autumnal) equinox and the spring (vernal) equinox. "Partial equinox" and "total equinox" are not valid terms for equinoxes as equinoxes are not classified as partial or total (those terms are used for eclipses).

Answer:

A. fall equinox, D. spring equinox (assuming the options are labeled as A: fall equinox, B: partial equinox, C: total equinox, D: spring equinox; adjust labels if needed based on actual option numbering)
