Spring arrival in Canada

On March 21, spring officially begins.

The spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, which occurs at 2:24 p.m. today was made possible by the peculiarities of astronomy, including the earth leaning slightly closer to the sun and the sun crossing the equator travelling north.

The Latin word equinox, which refers to today’s equinox, means “equal night,” thus there should be an equal number of hours of day and night.

Nevertheless, due to another astronomical quirk, we will actually have 12 hours and 9 minutes of daylight today as dawn was this morning at 7 am and sunset will be at 7:09 pm.

Whether or not you care about the physics, it signals the arrival of spring and the lengthening, brightening, and warming of the days.

That is something that everyone can support.
