At the equinox day and night are of the same length all over the world because the Sun is in the plane of the Earth's equator, and that happens on March 21 and September 22 each year.
At other times the Sun is above or below the Equator, and day and night have unequal lengths.

The spring equinox, occurring around March 20 or 21, marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, while the fall equinox, around September 22 or 23, signifies the start of autumn. These equinoxes occur when the sun is directly above the equator, leading to balanced daylight and darkness. They are significant in various cultures, often celebrated as times of renewal or harvest.
