What is the difference between Mid-Autumn Festival and Autumnal Equinox?

The most essential difference is that Mid-Autumn Festival is in the lunar calendar and is one of China's traditional festivals. The Autumnal Equinox is one of the 24 traditional solar terms in the Chinese calendar.
Autumnal Equinox: Autumnal Equinox, when the Big Dipper points to Yi, is the sixteenth solar term of the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms”. The solar term occurs between September 22 and 24 in the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 180 degrees of ecliptic longitude. On the day of the autumnal equinox, the day and night are of equal length, but thereafter the nights become longer and the days become shorter. After the autumnal equinox, the sun's direct point continues to move from the equator to the southern hemisphere, and the days begin to become shorter and the nights longer in all parts of the northern hemisphere, that is, the day begins to be shorter than the night within a day; the opposite is true in the southern hemisphere.
Mid-Autumn Festival: Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival, Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, August Festival, August Meeting, Moon-Chasing Festival, Moon-Playing Festival, Moon-Worshiping Festival, Daughters' Festival or Reunion Festival, is a traditional cultural festival popular among many ethnic groups in China and countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. It falls on the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. It is named so because it falls exactly in the middle of the three autumns. In some places, the Mid-Autumn Festival is set on August 16th.
