The two equinoxes occur every spring and autumn.
The "equinoxes" are two points on the map of the stars.
The center of the sun reaches and passes one of them at some moment around
March 21, and the other one at some moment around September 22.
At those moments, the sun is directly overhead some point on the earth's equator, and
every place on earth has roughly equal periods of sun-up and sun-down on that day ...
the only two times in the year when these things happen.
