Good 50ยบ sprinkling first day of Spring morning~!
...also known
as the Vernal Equinox.....An equinox occurs twice a year, when
the tilt of theEarth's axis is inclined
neither away from nor towards the Sun, the center of the Sun
being in the same plane as the Earth's equator. The
term equinox can also be used in a broader sense, meaning the date when
such a passage happens. The name "equinox" is derived from the
Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night), because around the equinox,
the night and day have approximately equal length.
At an
equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where
the celestial equator (i.e.
declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These
points of intersection are called equinoctial points: classically,
the vernal point and theautumnal point. By extension, the
term equinox may denote an equinoctial point.
An equinox happens each year at two specific moments in time (rather than two whole days), when there is a location (the subsolar point) on the Earth's equator, where the center of the Sun can be observed to be vertically overhead, occurring around March 20 and September 22 each year.
