The equinox does not have a direct effect on the amount of sunlight. The amount of sunlight received on Earth is primarily determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its position in its orbit around the Sun. During the equinox, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes equal amounts of sunlight to fall on the northern and southern hemispheres, resulting in roughly equal day and night durations around the world.
