Equinox occurs when the sun is vertically above .....
Equator
An equinox happens when the Sun is directly above the Earth's equator. This occurs twice a year, around March 20th and September 23rd. At these times, day and night are of approximately equal length all over the world. The Earth's tilt on its axis is the reason for the seasons, but during the equinoxes, the tilt neither points toward nor away from the sun, resulting in the sun being directly over the equator.
