Alas, summer is coming to a close because September 22 is, however unfortunate, the first day of fall. The season officially begins at 4:44 p.m. EDT during the autumnal equinox, when the sun crosses directly over the Earth's equator and both day and night are about equal. Fall will last a solid three months until the beginning of Winter on December 21, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory. But all is not lost!
Fall begins Sept. 23. In the northern hemisphere, the season of fall begins with the autumnal equinox, which falls on Wednesday, Sept. 23, 2015. The equinox is defined as when day and night are the same length, approximately 12 hours each. Fall, also known as autumn, is one of four seasons during the year, occupying the space between summer and winter.
