Correct Answer: Autumnal Equinox


Solution : The correct answer is Autumnal Equinox.

The autumnal equinox symbolises the start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere. This occurs on the 22nd or 23rd of September. The Earth's axis is neither inclined towards nor away from the Sun at the equinoxes the Sun's rays fall directly on the equator. This means that the Earth receives the same amount of sunshine and darkness.
