The September equinox can occur at any time from the 21st to the 24th of September.
The day that has equal light and dark is known as the equinox. There are two equinoxes each year: the vernal equinox in March and the autumnal equinox in September. On these days, day and night are approximately equal in length due to the position of the Earth relative to the Sun. This occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, moving northward in March and southward in September.
The fall equinox occurs around September 22 or 23 in the northern hemisphere. This marks the beginning of autumn when day and night are roughly equal in length.
An equinox occurs when the length of the day is equal to the length of the night. Here on Earth, it occurs around March 21 (the Vernal Equinox) and September 21 (the Autumnal Equinox).
the vernal equinox is always on the 21 of march. that's the day I'm righting this. _______________________________ The equinoxes occur on March 21 and September 21, plus or minus one day because of the cycle of leap years. In the northern hemisphere, the vernal equinox is in March, and the autumnal equinox is in September; in the southern hemisphere, it's reversed. In 1978, the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere was March 20, 1978 at 5: 10 PM GMT.
The vernal equinox occurs in March and marks the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, while the autumnal equinox occurs in September and marks the start of fall. During these equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length all over the world.
March 20 and September 22
The "autumnal equinox" is a single point in time, not a period. In 2015, the autumnal equinox will happen at 08:20 (UT) on the 23rd September.

September 22
The equinox on September 23 is the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the onset of fall. On this day, day and night are approximately equal in length. It occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, moving southward, and signifies a transition in seasons. In the Southern Hemisphere, this equinox marks the beginning of spring.
In North America, the first day of fall is considered to be on September's equinox. Every year, there is another equinox around March 20.
