Days become shorter from the Summer Solstice in June [the longest day of the year] through the Winter Solstice in December [the shortest day of the year] , when the days begin growing longer again. [At the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes, midway between the solstices, the days and nights are of equal lengths.]
At some point there is a balance between the daylight hours and nighttime hours but I do not know the exact date or time period.
Yes they are equal because equinox means equal nights.
During an equinox, the number of daylight hours and nighttime hours are nearly equal, with each being approximately 12 hours long. This occurs twice a year, around March 21 (the vernal equinox) and September 23 (the autumnal equinox), when the Sun is positioned directly above the equator. This alignment causes the Sun to rise and set almost directly in the east and west.
In the Northern hemisphere, daylight hours decrease after the autumnal equinox.
Although equinox means equal night, it doesn't mean that the day and night exactly the same. They are close. After the autumnal equinox the days are shorter though.

You gain daylight after the spring equinox how much depends on your latitude .
one year. the vernal equinox is on March 21, or the first day of spring. an equinox is when day and night is equal (12 hours daylight, 12 hours nighttime). there is a Vernal equinox in spring, and an autumnal equinox on the first day of autumn (or fall), September 21.
Equinox
During this time, known as the equinox, the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in nearly equal daylight and nighttime hours across the globe. This phenomenon happens twice a year, in March and September, marking the beginning of spring and fall seasons. It is also a period when the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the sun, leading to balanced illumination on both hemispheres.
At the equator, during the equinox, the length of daylight is approximately 12 hours. At the poles, during the equinox, there is no daylight as it is the period when the sun remains below the horizon for a full 24 hours.
No. At an equinox, which happens in March and September, the amount of daylight and darkness are about equal.
In the Northern hemisphere, daylight hours decrease after the autumnal equinox.
The scientific name for the first day of spring is the vernal equinox. It occurs around March 21st and marks the official start of spring in the northern hemisphere when daylight and nighttime hours are approximately equal.
