The Equinox, because at this time, day and night are equal lengths. There are two equinoxes each year, one in the spring and one in the fall.

Equinox
A time at which the days and nights are the same length around the world.
Occurs around March 21 and September 21 (but not necessarily on those dates).
Occurs when the Sun is directly over the equator.

equinox (latin for equal night 12 hrs sun & dark), solstice occurs when the 'sun stands still' at 23.5 degrees north & south of the equator (the tropics) (because the earth's current axial tilt is 23.5 degrees)
