The Sun moves from the Southern Hemisphere to the northern hemisphere around March 20 (or March 21 during leap years) of each year. On this day
the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north. It is called Spring Equinox and on this date the day and night are nearly equal 12 hours each all over the world and the earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the line connecting the centers the sun crosses the true celestial equator - or the line in the sky above the earth's equator - from south to north of the earth and the sun.
