Autumn equinox 🍁

Today, 22 September, is the day of the autumn equinox. The word 'equinox' comes from the Latin words 'equal' and 'night'.

Equinox is when daytime (when the sun shines) and nighttime (when it's dark) are equal, around 12 hours each! This happens twice a year: in autumn and in spring. When this happens at the end of March, we call this day 'spring equinox'.

There is also a word for the shortest and the longest night in the year. We call this a 'solstice'. There are two solstices every year: summer solstice in June (the longest daytime) and winter solstice in December (the longest nighttime).

Learn more about the summer solstice and why it's important in England from this post: https://www.facebook.com/learnenglishwithkatherine/posts/pfbid0KBCVPXAntxZzjJy4eG8GV8M4aVogxcoQ61GwJZPraBgDfDXs3AsR1xztDoTpFXaxl
