What month is the vernal equinox?

The vernal equinox is in March 19 every year.

The vernal equinox is one of the 24 solar terms and the fourth solar term in spring. At the beginning of the battle, the longitude of the sun reached 0, and the festival was held on March 19 of the Gregorian calendar every year. The spring equinox has two meanings. One is to divide the seasons equally. Traditionally, it is the spring between beginning of spring and Changchun, and the vernal equinox is in the middle of the two solar terms, which just divides the spring equally. The climate of the vernal equinox is characterized by warm and sunny weather.

The vernal equinox is of great significance in astronomy. On the day of the vernal equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator, and the northern and southern hemispheres are divided equally day and night. Since then, the direct position of the sun has continued to move from the equator to the northern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere, the day begins to be longer than the night, while in the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite.

There are also obvious climatic characteristics. After the vernal equinox, China has entered a beautiful spring except the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Northeast China, Northwest China and North China.
