  1. First Day Of Spring

First Day Of Spring

First Day Of Spring

Beanie Marie
March 18, 2023
Hey Ya'll Beanie here.  Monday March 20th is the official first day of Spring.  I love spring since it also means Summer is just around the corner. I think the air smells fresher and everyone just gets a little happier.    Watch my upcoming blogs for more fun stuff and information.  Hey Easter is just around the corner I think I want some baby chicks and bunnies.


Spring begins on the March or vernal equinox, which is when the amount of sunshine is approximately 12 hours long. The amount of sunlight will incrementally increase until the first day of Summer.

SpringBegins

The vernal equinox marks the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator. This is the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's equator, from south to north. The vernal equinox happens on March 19, 20, or 21 every year in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same event marks the beginning of fall.


Meteorologists mark the spring from March 1 through May 31st. In 2020, spring arrived a little earlier due to it being a leap year. On Leap Day, there's a short math lesson regarding the Gregorian calendar. To keep our calendar following the seasons so that spring happens when flowers grow and winter arrives when snow falls, an additional day was figured into years divisible by the number four. This caused the 2020 spring to occur earlier than any living human being alive had ever seen. Before 2020, the earliest spring on record took place in 1896. For more information, visit almanac.com.


HOW TO OBSERVE SPRING BEGINS

Get ready for longer days and increased sunshine. Tune up the lawnmower. More sunshine means the grass will be growing. Spend some time outside. Plan your garden or start planting. Host a spring party with lots of bright, fresh foods. 


SPRING BEGINS HISTORY

Human beings have been following the sun and creating a calendar based on seasons since the beginning of time.


Spring FAQ Q.

When it's spring in the Northern Hemisphere what season is happening in the Southern Hemisphere?

A. When spring begins in the Northern Hemisphere, fall is beginning in the Southern Hemisphere.


Q. What does vernal equinox mean?

A. Vernal is Latin for spring, and equinox means equal night. During the vernal equinox, we experience equal amounts of daylight and night. Following the vernal equinox, the days become longer.


Love Ya, Beanie Marie
