The English phrase 'vernal equinox' refers to the spring[date] of equal night [and day]. For starting late March, the day is about equal to the night in length. It represents the end of the shorter days and longer nights of winter. And it represents the beginning of the longer days and shorter nights of summer. The equivalent in Latin is aequinoctium vernalis. For the noun 'aequinoctium' means 'equal night'. And the adjective 'vernalis' means 'of or relating to spring'.

What is the difference between vernal and autumnal equinox?
The adjectives vernal and autumnal mean "of spring" and "of autumn (fall)" respectively. The equinox, when the day and night are even, occurs twice a year.

When is the 2009 vernal equinox in the Central Daylight Time Zone?
In 2009, the vernal equinox occured on March 20 at 11:44 UTC. For the layman (such as myself), UTC corresponds to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Central Standard Time is 6 hours behind GMT (or UTC - 6 ). Keeping in mind that we are observing daylight savings time in the U.S. (presumably in Canada and Mexico, too), the difference is only 5 hours between Central Daylight Time (CDT) and GMT. So the vernal equinox for 2009 occurred at 6:44 AM CDT. 11:44 UTC or GMT - 6:00 difference between GMT and CST +1:00 daylight savings time adjustment _____ 6:44 AM CDT local time of vernal equinox
