Jordan marks equinox and end of summer
The autumn season began astronomically in Jordan on Wednesday dawn, with the autumnal equinox—the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator from north to south—occurring at 3:05 a.m. local time. This event marks the start of a new season that will last approximately 89 days. Although it is commonly believed that day and night are equal on the equinox, daylight actually exceeds 12 hours slightly due to light refraction and the shifting times of sunrise and sunset. After the equinox, the positions of sunrise and sunset gradually change, the Sun's altitude in the sky decreases, and daytime hours gradually shorten until the northern hemisphere reaches its shortest day at the winter solstice.
