Day and night are equal at?
Equal periods of sun-up and sun-down are all near March 21 and September 21, everywhere on earth, including the equator. Those days are often called the "equinoxes", but the equinoxes are actually the points in the sky where the sun appears to be located on those days.
What is the right ascension of the earth?
"Right Ascension" is a coordinate in one of the main celestial coordinate systems. It is measured eastward along the "celestial equator". The units of measurement are hours, minutes and seconds. Those units are used because the "celestial sphere" appears to rotate once each day. Each hour is the equivalent of 15 degrees. The zero or starting point for right ascension is the "Vernal Equinox". It may seem odd to refer to the Vernal Equinox as the starting point of a coordinate system. The Vernal Equinox is actually a point in space. This point in space is occupied by the Sun at the time we call the Vernal Equinox. You can think of Right Ascension as being the equivalent of the Earth's meridians projected out into space.
Why do you get headaches at the vernal equinox?
There is nothing about the vernal equinox which is an intrinsic source of headaches. I could hypothesize that there is something you do in celebration of the vernal equinox that is not good for you, or alternatively, your mere expectation of having a headache at that time of year is enough to cause a psychosomatic headache.
