Since I needed more data due to my limited intellectual knowledge ;-) I looked

up 'Equinox'. I had an idea of what it was, but here is the definition in detail

for those who may not know

_________

An equinox in astronomy is the event when the Sun can be observed to be directly

above the Earth's equator, occurring around March 20 and September 23 each year.

More technically, the equinox happens when the Sun is at one of two opposite

points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator and ecliptic

intersect. In a wider sense, the equinoxes are the two days each year when the

center of the Sun spends an equal amount of time above and below the horizon at

every location on Earth. The word equinox derives from the Latin words aequus

(equal) and nox (night).

 

In practice, at the equinox, the day is longer than the night. Commonly the day

is defined as the period that sunlight reaches the ground in the absence of

local obstacles. The Sun is a disc and not a single point of light, so when the

center of the Sun is below the horizon, the upper edge is visible. Furthermore,

the atmosphere refracts light, so even when the upper limb of the Sun is below

the visible horizon, its rays reach over the horizon to the ground. In practice,

when the upper limb of Sun is on the visible horizon, this limb is in reality 1

degree below it. These effects together make the day about 14 minutes longer

than the night at the equator, and longer still at sites toward the poles. The

real equality of day and night happens a few days towards the winter side of

each equinox.
