Twice a year, at the equinoxes. These are generally on March 21, and September 21. These dates can vary a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.

The date when daylight hours are equal to night hours is known as the equinox. This occurs twice a year, in March (spring equinox) and September (fall equinox), when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths.

Are the days longer or shorter in the northern hemisphere right after the autumnal equinox?
The word 'Equinox' means equal day and night. The Autumnal equinox falls on the 23rd September. So any date after this, say 26th September, in the Northern Hemisphere the nights are longer than the days. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere the days are longer than the nights. At the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, 21st March, the whole system is reversed. There are four days in the year when there is a change. For the Northern Hemisphere; Vernal Equinox ; day and night are the same length. After this date the days are increasing and night is decreasing. until; Summer Solstice; Daylight is at a maximum and night is a minimum. Autumnal Equinox ; day and night are the same length. After this date that nights are longer than the days. Winter Solstice ; Daylight is at a minimum and night is a maximum. However, in the Southern Hemisphere , the whole system is reversed !!!! Vernal Equinox ; day and night are the same length. After this date the days are decreasing and night is imcreasing. until; Summer Solstice; Daylight is at a minimum and night is a maximum. Autumnal Equinox ; day and night are the same length. After this date that days are longer than the nights. Winter Solstice ; Daylight is at a maximum and night is a minimum. So in the USA or Great Britain(Northern Hemisphere), when its Summer, it is Winter in Australia & South Africa (Southern Hemisphere). Similarly at the poles. North Pole ; Summer ; 24 hours daylight and South Pole 24 hours darkness. North Pole ; Winter 24 hours darkness and South Pole 24 hours daylight. S
