Mark Your Calendars: The First Day of Spring 2025
The first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, also known as the vernal equinox, will occur on March 20, 2025. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator, signaling the start of astronomical spring.
What is the Vernal Equinox?
The vernal equinox is the moment when the sun's direct rays shine on the equator, resulting in nearly equal amounts of daylight and darkness across the globe. The term 'equinox' comes from the Latin words 'aequi' (equal) and 'nox' (night).
Why Does the Date of Spring Vary?
The date of the vernal equinox can vary slightly each year due to the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun and the way our calendar is structured. Leap years also play a role in these minor variations.
