Vernal Equinox

March 23, 2023

The vernal equinox is observed on March 21^st
Equinox happens twice a year when the sun is directly above the equator, and it occurs on approximately 21^st March and 23^rd
During an equinox, both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres have equal day and night time.
The vernal equinox (spring equinox) takes place in the Northern Hemisphere around 20th or 21st March, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it happens on 22nd or 23rd September.
Conversely, during the autumn season in the Northern Hemisphere on 23rd September (autumn equinox), it is springtime in the Southern Hemisphere, and on 21st March, it is the opposite.
After the spring equinox, the northern hemisphere tilts closer to the sun in March, resulting in more hours of daylight, with earlier sunrises and later sunsets.
According to Hindu astrology, Vernal Equinox is known as Vasant Vishuva or Vasant Sampat.
The Spring equinox brings earlier sunrises, later sunsets, and sprouting plants in the northern hemisphere.
Later sunrises, earlier sunsets, chillier winds, and dry and falling leaves are observed in the south of the equator (southern hemisphere).
