In English we can call today the "Equilux" - that is not the same thing as "equinox". There were twelve hours of daylight today and there will be twelve hours of darkness in the night. Sunrise in Perranporth was half past six (almost) in the morning and sunset was half past six in the evening. Tomorrow sunrise will be a bit earlier and sunset will be slightly later. We can see the top of the sun on the horizon - that's the start of sunrise for equilux. The middle of the sun is on the horizon - that's sunrise for an equinox. And that will be in three days. But the sky is not exactly black before sunrise or after sunset - there is twilight or dusk. We have many lovely sunsets in Perranporth but sunrise is obscured by dunes and buildings.
