The best answer for this question would be B. Day is longer than night. The time it takes for the sun to fully rise and set, which is several minutes, is added to the day and subtracted from the night, and therefore the equinox day lasts a little longer than 12 hours. I hope this helps!!

An equinox affects the lengths of day and night by making the length of Day and night equal. Thus, the correct option is A.

What is Equinox?

Equinox may be defined as the movement of the sun when it directly appears above the equator.

The instances of equinox arise twice a year i.e. around 20 March and 23 September. On the occasion of both these two days, the position of the sun is found to be directly above the equator.

This gives the length of day and night equal in duration.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A.
