Q. The two equinoxes occur in which of the two months?
Answer: March & September
Notes: The equinoxes occur in March and September. The equinoxes are the days when the sun is directly over the equator, making day and night of equal length. The equinoxes are sometimes called the “vernal equinox” (spring equinox) and the “autumnal equinox” (fall equinox). The equinoxes have different dates in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The equinoxes occur around March 21 and September 22. In the Northern Hemisphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 22 or 23. In the Southern Hemisphere, the equinox occurs on March 20 or 21.
On equinoxes, most places on Earth receive more than 12 hours of daylight.
