The Autumn Equinox, also known as the Fall Equinox or September Equinox, is an astronomical event that occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, making day and night approximately equal in length. This event typically takes place around September 22 or 23 in the Northern Hemisphere and is one of two equinoxes that occur each year; the other being the Spring Equinox, which happens around March 20 or 21.
