First day of fall, autumn equinox today

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) – At this time is the primary day of Autumn however why is the primary day of Fall totally different annually?

As of 8:43, this morning marks the beginning of the primary day of Fall (astronomically talking)! The Autumnal Equinox marks the change in seasons from summer season, to, in fact, fall. Throughout the Autumnal Equinox, the globe receives roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of evening as a result of the Earth will not be tilted towards or away from the solar. At midday the solar might be straight overhead of the equator too.

A enjoyable reality is that the phrase equinox is derived from the Latin phrases aequus (equal) and nox (evening). Throughout the Winter Solstice, we’ve the shortest day within the northern hemisphere and on the Summer season Solstice, we’ve the longest day!

At this time’s dawn was at 7:05 AM and the sundown is at 7:11 PM. Fortunately with as we speak’s sunshine we’re going to benefit from the 12 hours of daylight as we speak.
