The Vernal Equinox is a point in the sky along the 'track' that the sun appears to follow

through the stars in the course of the year.

In 2010, the center of the sun reached that point at 10:30 AM PST on March 20.

What types of equinox are there?

There are two kinds; the vernal equinox when the Sun passes over the equator heading toward you, or the autumnal equinox when the Sun passes over the equator going away from you. If you live in the northern hemisphere - North America, Asia, Europe - the vernal (or spring ) equinox is around March 21. If you are in the southern hemisphere - most of Africa and south America, and all of Australia - the vernal equinox is around September 21. Each of these dates can shift one or two days either way depending on the cycle of leap years. In 2010, the March equinox (vernal for us in the north, autumnal for you Aussies) is on March 21 at 17:32 GMT. The September equinox (my autumnal here in California, but vernal for my friends down in Kiwi Land :-) ) is on September 23 at 03:09 GMT.

Is the vernal equinox the same day for the whole world?

Yes and No. The equinox's occurs when the sun is directly over the equator. This is the same moment all over the world. However due to local time zones this would have been at different local times. For 2010 the vernal equinox occurred on March 20th, at 17:32 GMT so for countries in timezones of more than +7hours GMT such as Japan the equinox would have been on March 21st.


What day is the first of spring?

The date for the start of Spring each year is the Vernal Equinox, the day on which the overhead path of the Sun moves across the equator. The actual date depends on one's location north or south of the equator. The date will shift due to the 1/4 days by which the orbital year exceeds the calendar year.For the Northern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox is the "March equinox," which for most of the early 21st century (2001-2006 and 2008-2017) will be March 20. This is the Autumnal Equinox south of the equator.For the Southern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox is the "September equinox," which falls on September 23 (2010-2011) or September 22 (2012-2013).
