The unique thing is that the darkness and light are split exactly (or very close to exactly) in half, giving 12 hours of each.
Equinoxes
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.

The two days of the year when neither hemisphere is tilted toward or away from the sun are the equinoxes. These occur around March 20th and September 22nd each year. During the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length all over the world.
The equinoxes are the two points on the celestial equator there the ecliptic(the sun's apparent annual path through the stars) crosses it.Note that the equinoxes are not events or dates. They are points on the mapof the stars.

Photoperiod refers to the duration of light and darkness an organism is exposed to in a 24-hour period. Seasonal breeding and dormancy (such as hibernation in animals or winter dormancy in plants) are two processes that are dependent on photoperiod.
Summer Solstice marks the first day of summer (June 21), thus the longest photoperiod of the year. Winter Solstice marks the first day of winter, and the sun reaches it's lowest position in the sky throughout the whole year, so we expierence the shortest photoperiod of the year.
There are two equinoxes per year, separated by about 6 months. There will never be two equinoxes in one month.
The higher plants percieve photoperiod by their leaves. The intensity and quality of light determine the duration of photoperiod for inducing flowering.
The two equinoxes.
The two seasons that begin with solstices rather than equinoxes are summer and winter.
A photoperiod in agriculture is the amount of time each day that a plant spends in daylight.
There are two equinoxes (i.e. vernal/spring and autumnal/fall) every year.
At the Equator at the two Equinoxes, Spring and Fall.
Yes.
