What equinox does the sun reach on March 20 or 21?

On March 20 or 21, the Sun reaches the vernal equinox, marking the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. During this time, day and night are approximately equal in length, as the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward. This event signifies a shift in daylight hours, with days becoming longer than nights as the season progresses.

How many minutes of daylight are gained per day from Dec to June 21 in Victoria bc Canada?

The number of seconds or minutes gained per day is different for every date, and for every latitude. It runs in a sinusoidal curve; starting from a trough on December 21, the day length begins to CREEP up slowly, day by day, a few seconds, then many seconds, then an additional minute each day. By March 21, the equinox, the Alberta BC days are getting rapidly longer; 4 minutes each day! Then the pace of increase slows, until mid June when the days are getting only seconds longer each day until June 21, when the cycle peaks and begins to fall.
