Jakarta, MINA – Sunday 22 September 2024 there will be a phenomenon equinoxthat is, the sun will be directly on the equator.
According to the BMKG report announced by MINA, on Saturday (21/9), equinox It is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs when the sun’s position is exactly on the equator. When phenomena equinox progress, the distance between the sun and the earth is the closest distance.
When it happens equinoxthe position of the sun will be exactly on the equator, that is at zero latitude or 0 degree latitude. This position means that tropical areas around the Earth’s equator receive the most sunlight.
That way, it is daytime at the equator equinox occur for 12 hours 4.5 minutes. Meanwhile, the night will last 11 hours 55.5 minutes.

In addition to affecting the time at the equator, the sun shining directly on the equator increases the intensity of the light. This makes the temperature in the equator hotter. This situation mainly occurs when the area below is not covered by clouds at midday.
However, this phenomenon does not always cause a large or significant increase in air temperature. Philosophy equinox It generally does not affect outdoor areas equinox. This is because each region has specific days when the sun passes directly overhead at close range.
When the sun passes directly above the equator it means that the sun appears directly above the equator, not north or south of the equator – middle. On that day, the sun seemed to rise ‘exactly to the east’ and go ‘directly to the west’.
From time to time, phenomena equinox occurs twice a year, namely in March (folklorex) and September (autumnal equinox).

Equinox it is a natural and harmless astronomical phenomenon. Equinox it is not a phenomenon like a heat wave that can cause a large and permanent increase in air temperature.
The effects are there equinoxtropical areas around the equator receive maximum sunlight, but it has no effect on the weather. This phenomenon also does not always cause a significant increase in air temperature.
People don’t have to worry about the effect of the phenomenon equinox. People also don’t need to panic about the resulting large increase in temperature equinoxbecause this does not really affect health.[]
