Fall equinox 2022: Not as 'equal' as you may think
CNN
Fall equinox for 2022 is here -- that day when you get equal amounts of daylight and darkness. Except it's not as equal as you think on the first day of fall. Find out whether you get bonus sunlight.
(CNN) — Twice a year, the sun doesn't play favorites. Everyone on Earth is seemingly on equal status -- at least when it comes to the amount of light and dark they get.
We've entered our second and final equinox of 2022. If you reside in the Northern Hemisphere, you know it as the fall equinox (or autumnal equinox). For people south of the equator, this equinox actually signals the coming of spring.
Your location on the globe also determines whether you mark the day this year on Thursday, September 22, or Friday, September 23. People in the Americas will celebrate it on Thursday; time zone differences mean people in Africa, Europe and Asia will mark it on their Friday.
