That happens twice a year, at the time of the 'equinoxes'. It's one moment on or about
March 21, and another one on or about September 21.

No definite date can be given, because the calendar is not exactly synchronized to the sun
so the date 'wanders' slightly, and also because at the moment when it happens, it's not
even the same date everywhere in the world.
