That is when the Autumn Equinox will occur. Once we pass the Spring Equinox, there will be more daylight and less nighttime until September 22nd, 2021. It is derived from the Latin words equi (which means ‘equal’) and nox (which means ‘night’). This is evident in the word Equinox’s origin. Since there are twenty-fours in a day, that means there will be twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of nighttime. During the Spring Equinox, there will be approximately the same number of hours of daylight and nighttime. The Spring Equinox marks the point when the Sun crosses the path of the equator, and becomes positioned precisely above the equator between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Now that you know why we have seasons on Earth, let’s look at why the Spring Equinox is so important. However, given that there always seems to be a breeze in Ocean Shores, it may be safe to assume that it would be an even windier place than it is now. I wouldn’t want to speculate too much about what conditions Ocean Shores would experience in such an environment since it doesn’t exist. So we need the four seasons to help make all of Earth habitable and not just the places that would be lucky enough to have less extreme conditions. That’s not sustainable for supporting human life. And some would be in a constant flood or an endless drought. The weather would presumably be relatively stable, meaning some locations would be in a permanent freeze and others in a never ending heat wave. The Sun would rise and set at the same times every day. Every place would stay the same all year long. Therefore, the amount of light that a given location receives would be fixed. If the Earth was not tilted, the Sun would always appear to be located directly above the Equator. This means that different points on Earth receive varying levels of sunlight at different times of year. The seasons on Earth change quarterly because the planet is slightly tilted on its axis as it completes its annual orbit around the Sun. To help explain why the Spring Equinox is so significant from a scientific perspective, it helps to understand why we have seasons on Earth. It is one of the more joyous times of the year. Plants will begin blooming, trees will begin budding out, and young animals will start appearing in our little piece of coastal paradise. It is the day of the Spring Equinox (also known as the first day of Spring, and the Vernal Equinox), which means that we should be done with old man winter (I can’t make any promises on that though), and be ready to usher in the season of life. Something very special is happening on March 20th, 2021.
