There is no such things as summer and winter equinoxes. You have spring and autumn equinoxes, when the amount of daylight and darkness are equal. In summer and winter you have solstices, when you have the longest and shortest days in terms of the amount of daylight. The equinoxes are when the Equator transits the Ecliptic making the Sun appear as if it is moving either North or South depending on what part of the Ecliptic the Earth is in relative to it's rotation around the Sun.

March and September. Called the Spring and Autumn equinoxes and when one hemisphere is in the Spring Equinox, the other is in the Autumn Equinox. Same point on the Ecliptic. "Beware the Ides of March."

No, the equinoxes are the times when the length of the day is exactly halfway between minimum length and maximum length. In the summer, the day is maximum length, and in the winter, the day is minimum length. For the maximum or minimum length of day, the term is "solstice."

The first day of summer is the Sumer Solstice. Equinoxes are days that where the day is exactly as long as the night. The first day of summer, however, has the longest day and the shortest night of the year.

Equinoxes are events in time, not in space. They occur twice each year on March 21 and September 22 when the Sun appears to cross the plane of the Earth's equator.
