    They say in Texas (and Louisiana) that there are only two seasons of the year: Green and brown. I also might add that some think there are at least 4 seasons: Dove, squirrel, deer and rabbit.....

    Actually, in the interest of science, and getting it right. The exact 12 hrs each thing depends on the latitude of where you are. For the 30 degree latitude, which is pretty much north Louisiana, we will have 12 hrs 8 mins of daylight, 11 hrs 52 mins of darkness. Our REAL equinox will occur on September 28 this year.

    We strive to post the real truth on the BB&B. Carry on!

    But still, 8 mins or not..... GO DAWGS!!!

    The equinox is when the sun's apparent path crosses the equator. I guess there are 12 hrs per night and day only at the equator at that time. I really didn't know that tib bit about the 12 hr thing but that does not change the equinox.

    Yes, there is exactly 12-12 today at the equator, and then it varies a little depending on the latitude, north and south from there toward each pole.
