During both equinoxes, the noonsun is positioned directly overhead at the equator. This means that at solar noon, the sun is at a 90-degree angle relative to the surface at the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths worldwide. The equinoxes occur around March 21 and September 23 each year, marking the points when the Earth's tilt is such that the sun is exactly above the equator.

Where does the noon sun fall during both equinoxes?
During the equinoxes, when the Sun is at its highest, it will be at a distance from the zenith which is the same as your geographical latitude, but in the opposite direction. For example, if you live 50 degrees north of the equator, the Sun will be 50 degrees south of the zenith at noon.
When do fall and spring occur?
They begin at the vernal and autumnal equinoxes
The length of the days and nights is equal at the?
At the Equator at the two Equinoxes, Spring and Fall.
What days mark the days when the sun is directly over the equator?
What are spring and fall equinoxes
Where are the sun's direct rays on the equinoxes?
On the equinoxes, the sun's direct rays fall on the equator. This causes day and night to be of equal length all over the world.
How many times a year do equinoxes occur?
There are two equinoxes (i.e. vernal/spring and autumnal/fall) every year.
How many times a year do you have days in which the day and night are of equal duration?
Twice, at the Summer and Winter Solstaces.

Because the Earth is going around the sun every 365-366 days. The equinoxes create the seasons such as spring, summer, fall, and winter. Each equinox is a place on the circle of the Earths path.
