marks the sun crossing above the Earth’s equator from north to south. We actually have two equinoxes every year, one in September and another in March , indicating the change from summer to fall and winter to spring respectively.
You may hear some people say…well, the first FULL day of fall is Friday. And that’s because the Autumnal Equinox is a moment in time -- 9:04 p.m. on Thursday to be exact. The name equinox comes from the Latin aequus and nox . Per EarthSky.org, the equinox is “when the tilt of the Earth’s axis and Earth’s orbit around the sun combine in such a way that the axis is inclined neither away from nor toward the sun. Earth’s two hemispheres are receiving the sun’s rays about equally around equinox time.
For me, fall began back on September 1 though. No really. Meteorologists and climatologists split the year into four “meteorological seasons,” each of which lasts for three full months and begins on the first day of the month: September 1 for autumn; December 1 for winter; March 1 for spring, and June 1 for summer.
