Syyspäiväntasauksen

Syyspäiväntasaus marks the autumnal equinox in Finland. It signifies the moment when the sun is directly above the Earth's equator, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the globe. This astronomical event typically occurs around September 22nd or 23rd. Following the syyspäiväntasaus, the Northern Hemisphere, including Finland, begins to tilt away from the sun, leading to shorter days and longer nights as autumn progresses towards winter. The transition is often associated with a change in weather patterns, cooler temperatures, and the changing colors of foliage. While it is an astronomical phenomenon, its arrival is often observed and felt as a natural marker of the changing seasons. The exact time of the equinox varies slightly each year due to the Earth's orbit and the Gregorian calendar system.
