The Sun is directly over the equator on both the Vernal and Autumnal equinoxes. The Autumnal equinox is usually on the 21st or 22nd of September but can occur as late as the 23rd. On both equinoxes however all of the countries along the equator will have the sun pass directly overhead. It will rise due East, be directly overhead at noon and set due West.
