| About Vernal equinox |
| An Equinox occurs twice a year, around March 20/21 and September 22/23. The name “equinox” is derived from the ati ‘qequus’ and ‘nox’. When the tilt of the Earth’s axis is included neither away form nor towards the Sun, an Equinox occurs. Around the equinox, the night and day are approximately equally long. The same event is happening on other planets. At an equinox, the Sun is at one of two opposite points on the celestial sphere where the celestial equator (i.e. declination 0) and ecliptic intersect. These points of intersection are called equinoctial points: the vernal point and the autumnal point. The Vernal Equinox occurs around March 20/21 on the Japanese calendar, also known as Spring Equinox. It is the day in spring when there are twelve hours of darkness and twelve hours of light. It is a national holiday on Autumn Equinox day, a seven day period known as ‘higan’. The Vernal Equinox is mark the end of winter and start of warmer. Vernal Equinox day is the day when the sun crosses the equator from south to north. On this day the night and day are exactly the same in length. From this day on the days gradually become longer and the nights become shorter. It is a national holiday in Japan, locally called as ‘Shunbun no Hi’.
