Autumn Equinox

[Anonymous]

the Autumn Equinox occurred recently ..... but in Skipton North Yorkshire where I live, it is not equal hours of daylight & darkness ..... why is that please? ..... perhaps our Lord @viridis could explain ..... I have tried Google but can't seem to find an answer

thank you
