Sunrises and sunsets in the Mozhaysk region
Sunrises and sunsets in the Mozhaysk region - a set of sunrises and sunsets in Mozhaysk. The Earth revolves around the Sun and has a tilted axis, which is why the planet is tilted towards the Sun by different hemispheres at different times of the year. This results in one hemisphere receiving more light and heat, and the other less.
On the days of the equinoxes, the center of the sun crosses the celestial equator, and the terminator (the light dividing line separating the light from the dark part of the planet) is perpendicular to the earth's equator. This means that the northern and southern hemispheres receive the same amount of light and the day is approximately equal to the night.
On the days of the solstices, the sun has the greatest declination to the north or south relative to the earth's equator. Accordingly, on the ecliptic the sun hits the highest or lowest point.
