Hello! I'd be happy to help with that.

1. An equinox occurs when the Earth's poles are not tilted toward or away from the Sun. This statement is true. During an equinox, the Earth's axis is not tilted with respect to the Sun, causing the Sun to be directly above the equator.

3. There are two equinoxes per year. This statement is also true. There are two equinoxes, the vernal (spring) equinox and the autumnal (fall) equinox, which occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23 respectively.

Therefore, the correct statements about an equinox are:
- An equinox occurs when the Earth's poles are not tilted toward or away from the Sun.
- There are two equinoxes per year.
