Two times
There are two days each year when the day and night are of equal duration, known as the equinoxes. The vernal (spring) equinox occurs around March 21st, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, while the autumnal equinox occurs around September 22nd, marking the beginning of autumn.
These are the Vernal [or Spring ] and Winter Equinox . These days differ slightly and should be marked on your calendar.
The Equinox (Vernal & Autumnal) There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes
The duration of insolation is the same everywhere on the days of the equinoxes - around March 20-21 for the vernal (spring) equinox and around September 22-23 for the autumnal equinox. During these times, the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in approximately equal day and night lengths worldwide.
The two days of the year when there is exactly 12 hours of night and 12 hours of day are the equinoxes. They occur around the 20th of March and the 23rd of September each year.

Yes, during an equinox, days and nights are approximately equal in duration, with the length of day and night being close to 12 hours each. This phenomenon occurs twice a year, in the spring and fall equinoxes, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the Sun's rays.
