In reality equinoxes don’t have exactly 12 hours of daylight.<\/p>\n
“Equinox” means “equal night” in Latin. But even if the name suggests it and it\u2019s widely accepted, it isn’t entirely true that day and night are exactly the same on the equinox all over the world \u2013 only nearly<\/p>\n
On any other day of the year, the Earth’s axis tilts a little away from or towards the Sun. But on the two equinoxes, the Earth’s axis tilts neither away from nor towards the Sun.\u00a0 The equinoxes occur the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator \u2013 the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth\u2019s equator. This happens in March and September every year.\u201d<\/p>\n
