The year has two equinoxes, which are the days on which the night and day are of equal length. They happen when the apparent position of the Sun (on the ecliptic) crosses the Earth's equator.
The equinoxes are usually March 21 and September 22, and on those days the Sun has a declination of zero and is overhead at the equator.
