THE BIG QUESTION

The First day of spring 
The BIG Question : Why does spring begin on March 20-21 and why is it called the Vernal Equinox?



Answer : The equinox in spring, on about March 20 in the northern hemisphere and September 22 in the southern hemisphere. And Spring uasaully does fall on March 21 but This year it came a day early Thats becuase of where we are at the moment but  in Alaska and Hawaii and a few other places will be even earlier ( March 19 2016 ). Its called the Vernal Equinox Becuase "See under Equinox" And The "Vernal point"

  1. nice cut and paste but i don't see dymyn carter in this post. Nice selection for the picture though. Why is the rabbit associated with spring? what does the word "vernal" mean? how about equinox? I want you to express yourself in your writing sweetheart so go in deeper and tell me your version of what you read. if nothing but a paragraph.
