What are the characteristics of the climate during the Spring Equinox?The Spring Equinox is the fourth of the 24 solar terms and the fourth of the six solar terms in spring. The vernal equinox begins on March 20 (or 21) and ends on April 4 (or 5) every year. On the Spring Equinox, the Big Dipper points to the east. It begins on March 20 or 21 of the Gregorian calendar every year, when the sun reaches 0 degrees of ecliptic longitude (the vernal equinox). The length of day and night on this day is equal, which is exactly halfway through the ninety days of spring, so it is called the "Spring Equinox". In ancient times, it was also called "the middle of the day", "the division of day and night", and "the moon of mid-spring".The significance of the Spring Equinox is, firstly, that the day and night are equally divided, 12 hours each; secondly, in ancient times the spring season lasted from the Beginning of Spring to the Beginning of Summer, and the Spring Equinox falls in the middle of the three months of spring, dividing the spring season equally. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the day and night are almost equal. Afterwards, the position of direct sunlight gradually moves northward, and the days begin to get longer and the nights shorter. The Spring Equinox is a relatively important solar term. It not only has astronomical significance: the day and night are equal in the northern and southern hemispheres; In terms of climate, there are also relatively obvious characteristics. During the vernal equinox, my country enters a bright spring except for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and northern North China. On the vast land, willows are green, warblers are flying, grass is growing, wheat is jointing, and rape flowers are fragrant. |
