A person at the Equator experiences a symmetry of daylight/darkness throughout an orbit of the Sun while their counterpart at the South pole also experiences the same symmetry with a notable difference.

Where the dawn/twilight periods are almost negligible at the Equator compared to other latitudes as a function of daily rotation, the extended dawn/twilight periods as a function of the orbital surface rotation highlight the need to partition the planet's dual day/night cycles by cause.

Because there is no seasonal asymmetry in daylight/darkness at the Equator, the preposterous RA/Dec idea of the Sun crossing an imaginary celestial equator on the Equinox is disruptive for those who wish to enjoy the science behind this semi-annual event.

On the day of the Equinox in a few days time, the person at the Equator shares a sunrise with the person at the South pole but arising from separate causes as once the Sun comes into view at the polar latitude it stays in view for 6 months. I wish people to row in behind this approach and inform those who have a public responsibility for education to adjust their views accordingly.
