On March 21, 2012, the right ascension of the Sun was approximately 0 hours. This date is around the time of the vernal equinox, when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. At this point, the Sun's position aligns closely with the celestial coordinate system, making it a significant reference point in astronomy.

When is the last day of winter 2012?
Depending on where you live, the last full day of winter, 2012 will be either March 19, March 20, September 22 or September 23. Winter ends at the moment of the earth's orbit when the hemisphere that you are in goes from being tilted away from the sun to being tilted toward the sun. The sun will be directly of the equator at 5:14 AM UTC on March 20. Until that time, the sun will be over the southern hemisphere, and after that time it will be over the northern hemisphere. The sun will be directly over the equator again at 2:29 PM UTC on September 22, after which it will again be over the southern hemisphere.

What would happen if the earths axis was at right angle to the sun ray?
The Earth's axis IS at right angles to the sun's rays at the time of the March and September equinoxes. If the Earth's axis were also perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, then it would be at right angles to the sun's rays ALL the time. In that case ... -- There wouldn't be any seasons. Each area of the earth would keep its own climate all year long. -- There would be 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night, all year and at all latitudes.
What was the first day of spring in 1987?
March 20 or March 21, depending on where you live The time when the sun crossed directly over the equator was 03:52 UTC on March 21.
Where does the clock start for right ascension?
The "zero" or reference for right ascension in the sky is the meridian that joins the north and south poles of the sky and passes through the vernal equinox ... that's the point where the sun crosses the celestial equator moving north, on March 21.
When is the Sun's right ascension (RA) 0 hours?
vernal equinox
When is the Sun's right ascension (RA) 18 hours?
winter solstice
Does earth's revolution around the sun change both the right ascension and the declination of a star?
No, Earth's revolution around the Sun does not affect the right ascension and declination of a star. These coordinates are fixed relative to the celestial sphere and are not impacted by Earth's movement around the Sun. Right ascension and declination are used to locate objects in the sky and remain constant over time for a given star.
When is the Sun's right ascension RA 0 hours?
vernal equinox
What is the difference in right ascension between the Moon and the Sun when the Moon is at quarter phase?
At First Quarter or Last Quarter, the moon is at 'quadrature', nominally a quarterof the sky away from the sun. So the difference in their right ascensions will beroughly 6hours in both cases.

When will a star with a right ascension of 1.0 hours rise?
That completely depends on the date, since the sun itself moves through all values of RA in the course of a year, and our clocks refer to the sun.
What is The zero point of Right Ascension in celestial coordinates?
The zero point of Right Ascension (RA) in celestial coordinates is defined as the position of the vernal equinox, which is the point where the celestial equator intersects the ecliptic plane. This point corresponds to the position of the Sun at the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, around March 21. RA is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, with the zero point serving as the reference for measuring celestial objects' positions eastward along the celestial equator.
When does spring begin in 2012?
The time in March 2012 when the sun passes directly over the equator is Tuesday, March 20 at 05:14 (5:14 AM) UTC.
Can a right ascension and declination for any given star always be the same?
No, the right ascension and declination of a star will change over time due to the Earth's rotation and the star's own motion through space. These coordinates are specific to a particular moment in time and will vary as the Earth orbits the Sun and as the star moves within our galaxy.
