Time of equal length of day and night (7)

I believe the answer is:

equinox

(Other definitions for equinox that I've seen before include "March 21st or September 23rd" , "Vernal/autumnal --" , "particular day, twice a year" , "Vernal - -" , "March happening" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
