What is meant by EQUINOX?

  • (a) Day and night are equal
  • (b) The longest night
  • (c) The shortest day
  • (d) The longest day
The term "equinox" is derived from the Latin word "aequus," meaning "equal," and "nox," which is the Latin word for "night." This is the point in time when the Sun is directly above the equator of the Earth, which occurs twice a year, around March 21 and September 23. This is when the Earth's axis is positioned in such a way that it is not tilted towards or away from the Sun, resulting in equal daylight and nighttime hours.
