Near miss (safety) A near miss, close call, or nearly a collision is an unplanned event that has the potential to cause, but does not actually result in human injury, environmental or equipment damage, or an interruption to normal operation. A near miss is often an error, with harm prevented by other considerations and circumstances.
An equinox is a period in the orbit of a planet in which the planet's orbit and position cause the Sun to pass directly over the equator. In addition to being an astronomy event of note, it also marks a shift in the seasons.
During Equinoxes the tilt of the Earth (with respect to the Sun) is 0Â° and because of it duration of the day and the night are almost equal on Equinox day i.e. 12 hours. Equinoxes occur on 20th or 21st March and 22nd or 23rd September each year and both days has equal length of the day and the night.
