This means that the Sun appears to be at its lowest point in the sky. In September, the Sun crosses the equator from north to south. It is the day when the Earth's axis is tilted the most away from the Sun. By Konstantin Bikos There are two equinoxes every year: one in September and one in March. The winter solstice is also a time of astronomical significance and marks the beginning of Astronomical Winter. This makes it both a time of celebration and reflection: a time to celebrate the return of the Sun and the promise of longer days ahead but also a time to reflect on the past year and to set goals for the year ahead. Spring returns with a not-so-equal vernal equinox of 2021 Space Subscribe from just £22. The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year after which the days begin to get longer and the nights get shorter. It is also only a few weeks from this time that the clocks go back marking the beginning of summer time and making the evenings draw in.
The next time the spring equinox will occur on March 19 will be 2024, according to. During the vernal or spring equinox, the amount of daylight and darkness is. As with the Spring Equinox this is a point of seasonal equilibrium with days and nights being almost exactly 12 hours long each. In 2021, it reverted back to March 20, and that will be the date again in 20. The vernal equinox takes place on March 20 or March 21 and signals the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. The Autumn or Fall Equinox signals the end of Summer on the astronomical calendar. This is the first day of Astronomical Summer and occurs as the sun reaches its most northerly or southerly path in the sky. The Summer Solstice is also known as the longest day, which is perhaps the most notable feature. It is around this time of year that the clocks go forward making the evenings stay light and marking the beginning of summer time. In fact the word equinox is taken from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night) or "equal night". This event marks the moment when the sun crosses the celestial equatoran imaginary line in the sky above the Earth's.
It is also the point in the calendar where the day length is more or less equal to the length of the night. The spring equinox in the Northern Hemisphere is almost upon us.

The Spring or Vernal Equinox marks the astronomical first day of spring.
