Spring's Temporary Nature
01
Spring is characterized by its flowers and temperate climate.
In the northern hemisphere it occurs between March and June (usually from March 21 to June 23), while in the southern hemisphere it occurs between September 22 and December 22.
It is also the season of the year in which the days become longer, lasting 12 hours, and gradually extending as the summer approaches.
Info
Night and day merge for an instant. This event occurs twice a year and is responsible for marking seasonal changes and is called an equinox.
There are 2 during the year, in autumn and spring. It happens when the sun forms a perpendicular axis with the equator, in which the duration of the day is equal to that of the night on the whole planet Earth
Spring Equinox
THE SUN'S POSITION
Opposite to equinoxes are the solstices, which happen in the winter and summer seasons, being the time of the year in which the Sun passes through one of the points of the ecliptic furthest from the equator and in which the maximum difference in duration between day and night occurs.
"As long as there is spring in the world, there will be poetry!"
Gustavo Adolfo Béquer
Spanish Poet
They are native to Asia and the eastern Mediterranean and arrived in Europe through the Crusaders of the Eighth Crusade.
