During both equinoxes, the noonsun is positioned directly overhead at the equator. This means that at solar noon, the sun is at a 90-degree angle relative to the surface at the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths worldwide. The equinoxes occur around March 21 and September 23 each year, marking the points when the Earth's tilt is such that the sun is exactly above the equator.
