March equinox 2022 brings spring to Northern Hemisphere as Earth's seasons change

The Northern Hemisphere is seeing a rise in the number of spring flowers.

The March equinox is at 11:30 a.m. When the axis of our planet is not tilted with respect to the sun, it reaches the spot in its orbit. The Northern and Southern Hemispheres will have the same amount of sunshine.

We experience the seasons because of the Earth's axis. The axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. The Earth, moon and major planets are all in the same plane.

Earth takes about a quarter of a day to go around the sun. Seasonal changes occur in different parts of the globe when the axis runs between the north and south poles. You will see fall and winter in the south as spring and summer rise in the north.

Daylight is equal in most zones of the world today at 12 hours, but observers on the equator will be able to see the sun during noon. If you happen to be at the South Pole, enjoy the sun's rays before it disappears.

The weather in the Southern Hemisphere will start to get cold as winter approaches. Daylight will continue to increase in the coming months, which will be accompanied by warmer weather.

The myths of the polar night and the equinox are related.

The summer solstice is on June 21st and will be the next milestone to watch for in the Northern Hemisphere. The sun rises at 0905 GMT. The longest day in the Northern Hemisphere will be created by the tilt of the Earth's axis.

The shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere will be on June 21 because of the winter solstice. The days will get longer.
