Is the Spring Equinox characterized by longer days and shorter nights, or shorter days and longer nights?

During the Spring Equinox, the length of day and night is equal in both the Southern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere, which is one of the origins of the name Spring Equinox.
On the vernal equinox, the sun shines almost directly on the Earth's equator, and the day and night are almost equal in length everywhere in the world (not considering the refraction of sunlight by the atmosphere and the morning and evening shadows). The seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres are opposite. In the northern hemisphere, it is the vernal equinox, while in the southern hemisphere it is the autumnal equinox.
During the spring equinox, the sun's direct point is on the equator. In theory, the day and night are equal in length around the world on this day (see twilight). After the vernal equinox, the sun's point continues to move northward, and the days become longer and the nights become shorter in all parts of the northern hemisphere, while the nights become longer and the days become shorter in all parts of the southern hemisphere.
