Spring equinox marks spring in Northern Hemisphere
The spring equinox, scheduled for March 20, 2026, marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. This astronomical event happens when the sun's center is directly aligned with the Earth's equator, leading to nearly equal lengths of day and night across the world. The Earth's 23.5-degree axial tilt causes this phenomenon; during the equinox, the tilt is neither towards nor away from the sun.
