About the March Equinox



On Wednesday, March 20, 2019, the day and night will be of almost equal duration in most time zones in the world. Here are some facts about the March Equinox you might not know.

Also Autumnal Equinox The March equinox is the vernal (spring) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the autumnal (fall) equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

First Equinox of the Year The second equinox, the September equinox, takes place on or around September 22 every year. It's the Southern Hemisphere's spring Equinox and the fall equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.

Marks the First Day of Spring In the Northern Hemisphere, astronomers and scientists use the March equinox as the start of spring, which ends on the June solstice, when astronomical summer begins.

For meteorologists, on the other hand, spring in the Northern Hemisphere begins three weeks before the March equinox on March 1 and ends on May 31.

A Specific Time Point in Time Many cultures around the world celebrate the whole day as the March equinox. However, in reality, the equinox occurs at a specific moment in time when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, the imaginary line in the sky above Earth's Equator, from south to north.

At this moment, Earth's axis is tilted neither away from nor towards the Sun, but is rather perpendicular to the Sun's rays, like the illustration shows.

In 2019, this is on March 20, at 21:58 UTC. For locations that are more than two hours ahead UTC, it will be on March 21. This is because of the time zone difference.

The Date of the Equinox Can Vary Remember when Spring Equinox was celebrated on March 21? Well, remember again, because the last time that happened was in 2007 and the next time it will happen is in 2101!

Contrary to popular wisdom, the March Equinox can take place on March 19, 20 or 21. In the 21st century, the March Equinox has only occurred twice on March 21 ? 2003 and 2007. A March 19 equinox will be more frequent during the last decades of the century.

Note: These dates are based on the time of the equinox in UTC. Due to time zone differences, locations ahead of UTC may celebrate the March Equinox a day later, and locations behind UTC may celebrate it a day earlier.

Equal Day and Night... Conventional wisdom suggests that on the equinox everybody on Earth gets to experience a day and night of equal lengths ? 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night time. In fact, the name equinox is derived from the Latin words aequus, meaning equal, and nox, meaning night.

...But Not Quite In reality though, most places on Earth get to see more daylight than night time on the equinoxes. This is because of two reasons: how sunrise and sunset is defined and atmospheric refraction of sunlight.

Why don't the equinoxes have equal day and night?

Most locations of Earth, except those on the Equator, do have almost equal day and night twice a year. The dates for this event, which is also known as equilux, depend on the location's latitude and can be a few days before or after the equinoxes.
