Did you know? Spring is also called the Vernal Equinox. The word equinox is derived from the Latin words meaning “equal night.” At the equinoxes (spring and fall “autumnal”), the tilt of Earth relative to the Sun is zero, which means that Earth’s axis neither points toward nor away from the Sun. (However, for the science geeks out there — the tilt of Earth relative to its plane of orbit, called the ecliptic plane, is always about 23.5 degrees.) The result? Days and nights are approximately equal around the planet.
