What is the difference between equator and equinox?

The Equator is an imaginary line (great circle) on the Earth's surface, which is equidistant from both the geographic poles and lies in a plane perpendicular to the Earth's axis of rotation. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.An Equinox is either of the two times during a year when the sun crosses the celestial equator. At this time, the length of day and night are approximately equal as the Sun is exactly above the Equator.The vernal equinox occurs around March 21, when the Sun moves north across the celestial equator. The autumnal equinox falls around September 23, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator going south.
