Terry,

Thanks for the lesson. But, as dxAce has already said, the equinox will
happen at a precise time, as the sun crosses the equator (either
North-to-South or South-to-North). So depending on where you are on the
planet, the local time will differ. As will the sidereal (non-mean time)
time at your location.

Mark.

And, I wonder, like the equinox (tomorrow) whether the date is based on
where you are located when it happens?

The equinox happens at the same time for everyone.

for a good discription.
