What is an equinox?
The word equinox is Latin for “equal night,” and it’s the date when, in most places on Earth, the daylight lasts just about as long as the nighttime. It marks the midpoint between the summer solstice in June when Northern Hemisphere days are their longest (up to 24 hours without the sun setting in the polar regions) and the long, dark nights of the winter solstice in December when the sun never rises in the polar regions.
Day and night aren’t really equal on the equinox
On the fall equinox, the center of the sun is above the horizon for exactly 12 hours. But we consider the sun to be rising when the lip of it just comes into view, which can happen a few minutes before the center; at sunset, even once the sun’s center has dipped below the horizon, it takes a few more minutes for the rest of it to disappear.
Plus, according to timeanddate.com, during the moments at the very beginning of the sunrise and the very end of the sunset, when there’s only a tiny bit of the sun visible to us, we’re actually seeing the image refracted by Earth’s atmosphere—it bends the light around to us even before the Earth has rotated far enough for the edge of the sun to clear the horizon.

Falling into autumn
Why does pumpkin-spice season have two names, and is one more valid than the other? The word autumn comes from Latin and began being used in England in the 1300s. People also referred to the season as “the fall of the leaves”—the phrase was eventually shortened to fall around the 1600s. A couple of hundred years later, records show that fall had become more popular in the United States and autumn had held the lead in England, but nobody’s sure why.
Different year, different day
The autumnal equinox typically takes place on the 22nd or 23rd of September, but there are some exceptions. The equinox occurred on September 21 in 1931 and the year 1000, and it’s set to land on the 21st again in 2092. Fall will officially begin on September 24 in the year 2303. The date varies from year to year due to the Gregorian calendar which defines a year at 365 days, while it takes the Earth 364 and 1/4 days to completely orbit the sun. Make sure to check your calendars for the official date each year.
