    Re: Equinox does not have equal day & night length
    From: Sean C

    From the USNO website:

    In the northern hemisphere, at latitude 5 degrees the dates of equal day and night occur about February 25 and October 15; at latitude 40 degrees they occur about March 17 and September 26. On the dates of the equinoxes, the day is about 7 minutes longer than the night at latitudes up to about 25 degrees, increasing to 10 minutes or more at latitude 50 degrees.

    I live at 37°N. September 26th is my birthday. :)
