The equinoxes, as well as the solstices, are a result of axial tilt of the Earth and the Earths movement in its orbit. This causes the Sun to appear to move higher and lower through the sky during the year. At certain points in the Earths orbit the Sun appears to lie directly overhead along the equator. Those two times a year (around March 21st and September 21st) are known as the equinoxes and signals the transition from one season to another.
