Equinoxes for Jerusalem 2023-2031
There are two equinoxes every year, in March and September, when the Sun shines directly on the equator, and the length of night and day are nearly equal.
The March equinox Marks the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and vice versa in
September.
All times are local time for Jerusalem. Dates are based on the Gregorian calendar. Times adjusted for DST if applicable.
