The fall equinox (or autumnal equinox, or September equinox) falls on September 22nd or 23rd each year, in the Northern hemisphere. The autumnal equinox is a time when the earth’s tilt sits at an angle perpendicular to the sun, making sunrise and sunset almost exactly 12 hours apart. This configuration of earth and sun often marked the end of summer for ancient cultures, and that tradition continues today.
