An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the Sun being vertically above a point on the Equator. The term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. It may be better understood to mean that latitudes + L and - L north and south of the equator experience nights of equal length. The word is also used for the same event happening on other planets and in setting up a celestial coordinate system; see equinox (celestial coordinates). At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points the vernal point and the autumnal point. By extension, the term equinox may denote an equinoctial point. An equinox happens each year at two specific moments in time (rather than two whole days), when there is a location on the Earth's Equator where the centre of the Sun can be observed to be vertically overhead, occurring around March 20/21 and September 22/23 each year.

21. How Time Affects Writing
March 23, 2007
You may not really think about it, but depending on the equinox, you may be using the wrong terms – specifically daylight time versus standard time.

Well it can and it’s especially important to pay attention to differences when you’re planning meetings that will be attended by people all over the world.

22. Let Your Light Out!
November 03, 2006
Here in the northern hemisphere, we've passed the autumnal equinox; the days are shorter than the nights, and getting ever more so, till the solstice in December. Although I enjoy this time of year – I like the cooler weather, the changes in my garden, and anticipating the holidays – I still miss the long days of spring and summer. And as the light dwindles, I seem to be getting increasingly phototropic: like a plant, I find myself turning towards the light.
There are many forms of light in our lives: the ebb and flow of natural daylight versus the on-demand brilliance of artificial l... (read more)
