Spring begins at 5:56 p.m., Saturday, March 20, when the sun moves directly above Earth's equator. This event is called the vernal equinox from the Latin words “vernal” meaning spring and “equinox," equal night.
The sun's annual journey across the sky can be traced from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer. “When the sun reaches the equator, the midpoint in its journey, spring officially begins in the northern hemisphere,” according to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia.
