What are the dates of the spring and fall equinoxes?

The Spring and Fall Equinoxes are the first days of Spring and Fall. In the southern hemisphere, this is not the case. The Spring equinox occurs around the 21st or 22nd of September, not the first day of Spring, which is September 1. The Autumn equinox occurs around the 21st or 22nd of March, not the first day of Autumn, which is March 1.


What determines the first day of spring?

The first day of spring is determined by the vernal equinox, which occurs around March 20th in the Northern Hemisphere. This is when day and night are approximately equal in length, and it marks the beginning of spring.


What are the spring and fall seasons marked by?

Spring is marked by warmer temperatures, blooming flowers, and the return of migratory birds. Fall is marked by cooler temperatures, falling leaves, and harvest season for crops.


Is September considered the summer or fall?

It all depends on where you are, the northern hemisphere or the southern one. Generally speaking, in the northern hemisphere, September is considered the fall while in the southern hemisphere, September would be considered spring. However, the equinox marks the changes of seasons and September 22nd or 23rd is the normal date for the equinox. Therefore, prior to the equinox, September is technically summer in the northern hemisphere and changes to fall at the equinox. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, prior to the equinox, September is considered winter and changes to spring at the equinox.

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. Once in spring and once in autumn (fall) as we move from the extremes of the summer and winter solstices. Therefore we have a vernal equinox (in spring) and an autumnal equinox (in autumn/fall).
