Spring officially begins this Friday for many places. This special day is called the vernal equinox.

The Earth moves around the sun at a certain angle. On the equinox, Earth's tilt is not towards or away from the sun.

Both halves of the Earth get the same amount of sunlight. Day and night are almost equally long all over the world.

People have celebrated equinoxes for many centuries. In Mexico, a sun shadow creates a serpent shape on a pyramid.

Solstices happen when one part of Earth leans much more. Meteorological seasons are different and based on the weather.
