It's almost time to fall into fall, though in many parts of the country, it feels like we're already there. There are specific times when the astronomical seasons officially turn over -- for fall, it's the autumnal equinox.

Twice a year, the sun doesn’t play favorites. Everyone on Earth is seemingly on equal status – at least when it comes to the amount of light and dark that they get.

The autumnal equinox on Sept. 22 marks the start of fall, bringing equal day and night in the Northern Hemisphere.
