The equinoxes are the days when the days and nights are equal. I.e. day=12 hours long, night=12 hours long. The vernal equinox is in spring and the autumnal equinox is obviously in autumn. They are sometimes said to be the start of summer and winter respectively.

What is the relationship between solstice equinoxes and seasons?

Solstice is the longest day of the year. Exuinox is the shortest day of the year. Summer is the hottest time of the year. Winter the coldest time of year. This temperature difference is a result of the diferent lengths of the day. Solstice is around the middle of summer then, just as equinox is around the middle of winter. Of course there are other things to consider - living near the equator or further away changes everything to do with seasons and even soltice/equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere seasons are all reversed too.

What causes a equinox?

The length of daylight in the day varies through the year as the Earth goes around the sun. Two times a year, except at the equator, the daylight length is 12 hours, so the daylight and night time are equal.


Why length of day and night is same in spring and autumn?

The length of day and night is nearly equal during the spring and autumn equinoxes because of the way the Earth is positioned in relation to the sun. During these times, the Earth's axis is neither tilted towards nor away from the sun, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the globe.
