Fall equinox 2020
The first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere is September 22nd this year. At 9:31 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Earth’s annual trip around the sun hits the milestone we use to separate our seasons: The sun crosses over the equator to the southern half of the planet. For the next six months, the Northern Hemisphere will be getting less direct light from our star, and it will get chillier by the week. To make the most of the season, add these activities to your fall bucket list—stat.

When? Depends on who you ask.

Ask an astronomer or layman, and it's the September equinox, this year September 22.

Ask a meteorologist, and it's always September 1, because we go by first of the month for all the seasons—I don't agree with it, but it's apparently easier statistically that way.

Some may tell you the day after Labor Day.
