The first day of spring

Happy first day of spring! The first day of spring, also known as the vernal equinox, is the day when the length of day and night is roughly equal all around the world. This occurs when the sun's rays are directly over the equator, and it marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The exact date of the first day of spring can vary slightly from year to year, but it typically falls on March 20th or 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. This day is often celebrated as a time of renewal and growth, as plants and flowers begin to bloom and the weather starts to warm up after the cold winter months.
