Homonym: March Equinox (Equinox)
The March Equinox, also known as the Vernal Equinox, occurs around March 20 or 21 each year. It marks the moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the globe. This event signals the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
During the March Equinox, the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west. Many cultures celebrate this time as a period of renewal and growth, often associated with various festivals and traditions, such as Ostara in pagan traditions and Nowruz in Persian culture.
