The Geometry of the Equinox
The equinox occurs because the Earth is tilted in relation to the Sun. Contrary to popular belief, the tilt of the earth does not change during the year. When the Earth rotates around the sun, the part of the Earth that is tilted towards the sun changes, even though the tilt of the Earth is fixed. As the Earth changes in position to the sun, the sun rises and sets across different parts of the sky. eSky: Autumnal Equinox Religious Tolerance: When and why the equinox happens
