MUSCAT: During the equinox, the sun will cross the celestial equator while moving southward, with its rays falling almost directly over the equator.
The astronomical event results in day and night being nearly equal in length across most parts of the world.
The September equinox also marks the beginning of spring in the Southern Hemisphere, while the Northern Hemisphere enters autumn.
The timing of the equinox in Oman will be 4:05 am on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
