Answer: The celestial equator wraps the sky directly above Earth's equator. At the equinox, the sun crosses the celestial equator, to enter the sky's Northern Hemisphere. ... At the equinox, Earth's two hemispheres are receiving the sun's rays equally. Night and day are often said to be equal in length.

Explanation: Sun in directly over the equator

p.s. I think the answer and explanation are backwards.

I hope this helps, if it's not right please say so.
