At the equator, the sun is directly overhead at noon on these two equinoxes. the nearly equal hours of day and night is due to the refraction of sunlight or bending of lights Ray's that causes the sun to appear above the horizon when the actual position of sun is below the horizon.

On equinox, the sun moves across the celestial equator, which lies directly above the Earth's equator. When the sun crosses the plane, it rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west.

Bottom line: There's slightly more day than night on the day of an equinox. That's because the sun is a disk, not a point of light, and because Earth's atmosphere refracts (bends) sunlight.

Describe the effects of natural climate change
Katen [24]

Climate change is happening, it is caused in large part by human activity, and it will have many serious and potentially damaging effects in the decades ahead. Greenhouse gas emissions from cars, power plants and other man-made sources—rather than natural variations in climate—are the primary cause. These emissions include carbon dioxide — the main greenhouse gas — which has reached a concentration level in our atmosphere that the Earth hasn’t seen for more than 400,000 years. These greenhouse gases act like a blanket, trapping the sun’s warmth near the earth’s surface, and affecting the planet’s climate system.

Describe the political and economic challenges that have faced Eritrea since it gained independence.
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

Eritrea has faced several challenges since gaining independence from Ethiopia in 1993. The country has only one political party that maintains all of the control. Democratic national elections have yet to be held; the transitional government is still in power, and no constitution has been implemented. Furthermore, territorial disputes with Ethiopia continue. Eritrea's command economy is struggling. Over 80% of the population is engaged in subsistence agriculture. Climate changes have created problems for agriculture, and drought is a major issue. Finally, property damages due to war have proven costly.

Explanation:

That is the correct sample response.
