Question

what occurs when the northern hemisphere experiences spring and the southern hemisphere experiences fall?
the sun is directly overhead in the northern hemisphere.
the southern hemisphere receives more direct rays from the sun.
the northern and southern hemispheres get the same amount of energy from the sun.
the northern hemisphere receives more daylight hours than the southern hemisphere.

Explanation:

During the equinoxes (when the Northern Hemisphere has spring and the Southern Hemisphere has fall), the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that both hemispheres receive an equal amount of sunlight and energy from the Sun. The Sun is directly overhead at the equator during an equinox, not in the Northern Hemisphere. Also, neither hemisphere receives more direct rays or more daylight hours than the other at this time.

Answer:

The Northern and Southern Hemispheres get the same amount of energy from the Sun.
