During an equinox, the Earth's tilt is neither inclined toward or away from the sun, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness for all locations on Earth. Points north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle may still experience 24 hours of daylight or darkness, but this is due to their extreme latitudes and not the equinox itself.
