The Spring Equinox 2023 is almost here. It designates the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere after a protracted winter. Thus, the equinox, which occurs on March 20 this year, ushers in longer days and milder temperatures by bringing with it a perfect balance of day and night.
Therefore, the Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, which results in the Spring Equinox. Due to this, sunlight reaches the Northern and Southern Hemispheres at various times of the year. When the sun crosses the equator straight at the spring equinox, most of the world experiences an equal amount of daylight and darkness. Thus, the length of day and night, however, may differ significantly depending on where you are.
In many places of the world, the Spring Equinox has cultural importance. The start of the Iranian New Year, or Nowruz, occurs during the Spring Equinox. However, new clothing are worn during the festival, residences are cleaned, and a special meal is prepared.
