Calendar News:
Today is the first day of fall 2024 in which the Sun will lie directly above the equator—giving every city in the world roughly equal hours of day and night.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the September equinox is the autumnal or fall equinox —it is when night starts to become longer than day.
The Earth does not move at a constant speed in its elliptical orbit, so the seasons are not of equal length. On average, fall lasts for 89.8 days in the Northern Hemisphere and 92.8 days in the Southern Hemisphere.
