Autumn Equinox, also known as the September Equinox, is one of the two equinoxes in a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal lengths of day and night. It usually falls around September 22 or 23, depending on the year.
During the autumn equinox, the sun rises due east and sets due west, and the sun's position in the sky is directly over the equator, making the day and night roughly equal in duration. This event is significant in various cultures around the world, as it marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere.
In many East Asian cultures, the autumn equinox is celebrated as an important seasonal festival. In China, it is known as "Qiu Ren" (秋分), which translates to "Autumn Division." It is a time for families to gather, enjoy the harvest, and appreciate the beauty of the changing seasons. In Japan, it is celebrated as "Shuubun," and in Korea, it is known as "Chilseok."
The autumn equinox also holds great significance in various religious and spiritual practices. In Hinduism, it is believed that the souls of ancestors are allowed to return to their families on this day to rest and be honored. In Christianity, the equinox is associated with the celebration of the Feast of St. Matthew.
In terms of weather, the autumn equinox often brings cooler temperatures and the beginning of autumnal foliage changes. It is a time of transition from the warmth of summer to the cooler days of fall.
