About Spring (March Equinox)

The March equinox, the astronomical start of Northern Hemisphere spring, computed each year from the sun's position.

Spring (March Equinox) is the moment the sun reaches a particular longitude in its apparent path, calculated astronomically for each year. The date can shift by a day between years because the tropical year is not a whole number of days.
