The equinox is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, around March 21 and September 23, when the sun is positioned directly above the equator. During these times, day and night are approximately equal in length globally. The March equinox marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, while the September equinox signals the start of autumn in the North and spring in the South. The term "equinox" comes from the Latin words "aequus" (equal) and "nox" (night).
