Why March 20 is significant
March 20 is notable for several reasons beyond being a specific calendar date. It marks the astronomical beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward. This equinox occurs when Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the Sun, resulting in nearly equal daylight and nighttime hours worldwide.
