There are two moments each year when the Sun is located directly above the Equator and the Earth's axis is neither tilted toward or away from the sun, making the hours of day and night relatively equal in length. These days are the spring and fall equinoxes. The fall equinox occurs on September 22, 2025 at 2:19 pm and marks the official beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere.
