The first day of spring is here. Here's what you should know about the SpringEquinox
This year, the first day of spring -- also known as the spring equinox -- falls on March 20. Here's what you need to know about the occasion.What's the spring equinox?The spring equinox marks one of the two times a year when day and night are nearly the same length. The term equinox comes from the Latin word equinoxium, which means"equality between day and night."This phenomenon occurs when the center of the sun is directly above Earth's equator.
This full moon is also extra special because it will be a supermoon. That means the moon will appear larger than normal because of its close proximity to Earth. Is the spring equinox always on the same day?No, but it doesn't vary by much. The spring equinox always occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on March 19, 20 or 21. The date of the equinox changes from year to year to account for the fact that the Earth doesn't take exactly 365 days to make a complete revolution around the sun.
