∙ 9y agoAt the equinox day and night are of the same length all over the world because the Sun is in the plane of the Earth's equator, and that happens on March 21 and September 22 each year.
At other times the Sun is above or below the Equator, and day and night have unequal lengths.

An equinox occurs on the same day at the same time in both hemispheres?
Correct. The March equinox, which is typically March 21 but can vary by a day either way, is the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, because the Sun us rising into the northern hemisphere. At that very same moment, it is the autumnal equinox in the southern hemisphere, because as the Sun is moving INTO the northern hemisphere, it is moving away from the southern hemisphere. The September 21 equinox sees the Sun moving south of the equator, so the spring equinox in the south, while it is the autumnal equinox in the North.
