What is the moment when the sun appears to be across the celestial equator called?

The sun appears to cross the celestial equator twice in the course of one year. The point in the sky where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator on its way south is called the Autumnal Equinox. The moment when it appears to be in that position is called the "Beginning of Fall" in the northern hemisphere. The point in the sky where the sun appears to cross the celestial equator on its way north is called the Vernal Equinox. The moment when it appears to be in that position is called the "Beginning of Spring" in the northern hemisphere.This happens at the equinox, which is around March 21 and September 21. (The date varies a day or so either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)If you need to know exactly when this is, you can look that up on the US Naval Observatory's web site on the "Earth's Seasons" page (linked below).
