Given the different Sun incidence in different positions in the orbit, it is necessary to define a standard point of the orbit of the planet, to define the planet position in the orbit at each moment of the year w.r.t such point; this point is called with several names: vernal equinox, spring equinox, March equinox, all equivalent, and named considering northern hemisphere seasons.
The September equinox (or southward equinox) is the moment when the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, heading southward.

At the equinox, the Sun as viewed from the equator rises due east and sets due west ...
