Autumn equinox 2024 in Guatemala
He autumn equinox It is an astronomical event that marks the change of season and occurs twice a year, in March and September. In this 2024the natural phenomenon will be experienced on Sunday, September 22marking the official start of autumn in the northern hemisphere, including Guatemala. Meanwhile, in the southern hemisphere, this same event signals the beginning of spring.
What is the autumn equinox?
An equinox is the moment when the Sun is directly over the Earth’s equator, causing day and night to be almost the same length across the planet. The word “equinox” comes from the Latin equalwhich means equal, and nox which means night, referring to the equality between the hours of light and darkness.
This happens because of the Earth’s tilt, which is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis. Throughout the year, this tilt causes the hemispheres to receive different amounts of sunlight, giving rise to the seasons. However, during the equinox, the Earth’s axis is in a neutral position, neither toward nor away from the Sun, allowing the Sun to equally illuminate both hemispheres, creating a balance in the length of day and night.
This causes the days to become shorter and the nights to become longer from now on until the winter solstice in December, when the nights will be the longest of the year. In the southern hemisphere, the opposite occurs, where daylight hours will increase.
When and at what time will it happen?
This phenomenon occurs at the same time all over the world, although its effect varies depending on geographic location. In countries close to the equator, the changes in the length of day and night are less pronounced, while at higher latitudes, such as at the poles, the differences are more drastic.
He autumn equinox 2024 will occur exactly the same Sunday, September 22 at 6:44 amGuatemala time. On this date the Sun will rise at 5:51 a.m. and will be put at the 5:58 p.m.so out of a 24-hour day, a total of 12 hours and 7 minutes will be of sunlight. From this date and as the days go by, the amount of sunlight will decrease.
Its effects on nature
As the days get shorter and temperatures begin to drop, trees that lose their leaves seasonally begin the process of changing color and dropping their leaves. Plants reduce their activity and enter a state of rest to prepare for winter.
In addition, the behaviour of many animal species is also changing. Some birds begin their migrations to warmer areas, while other species, such as bears, prepare for hibernation.
