In 2019, the autumnal equinox—also called the September equinox—will arrive on September 23 in North America. Wondering why it’s called an equinox?
Autumn has caught us in our summer wear.
–Philip Larkin, British poet (1922–86)When is the Autumnal Equinox?
Although the equinox happens at the same moment worldwide, your clock times will depend on your time zone.
Year Autumnal Equinox (Northern Hemisphere) 2018 Saturday, September 22 2019 Monday, September 23 2020 Tuesday, September 22 What is the Autumnal Equinox?
Autumn days come quickly, like the running of a hound on the moor. –Irish proverb
The autumnal equinox—also called the September or fall equinox—is the astronomical start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why is it called an equinox? The word comes from the Latin aequus, meaning “equal” and nox, meaning “night.”
During the equinox, the Sun crosses what we call the “celestial equator.” Imagine a line that marks the equator on Earth extending up into the sky above the equator from north to south. Earth’s two hemispheres receive the Sun’s rays about equally. The Sun is overhead at noon as seen from the equator, so at this point, the amount of nighttime and daytime (sunlight) are roughly equal to each other.
