Spring Arrives Today At 6:45 PM

March 20, 2015 12:01 AM

Spring arrives at 6:45 PM today which means the sun, at that time, is at 90 degree above the horizon, directly over the equator. There are two equinoxes every year – in March and September – when the Sun shines directly on the equator and the length of night and day are nearly equal, but not quite. At its peak, from now until the first day of summer, the sun will continue to appear higher and higher in the sky. Once we are past June 21st, the sun will very slowly begin its decline towards the autumnal equinox and the following season which shall not be named.  http://www.boston.com/news/weather/weather_wisdom/2015/03/spring_arrives_today_at_645_pm.html?p1=Must_Reads_hp
