Trivia: In what two months do the equinoxes occur?

March and September
June and December
April and October
May and August

The correct answer is March and September

So why is this answer correct? : The equinoxes occur twice a year — once in the spring and once in the fall. Due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis, it is only on these two days of the year that all parts of the Earth have equal lengths of night and day. Conversely, solstices occur in June and December, and mark the longest and shortest days of the year.
