First day of spring is here: Here's what to know about spring equinox


Is the spring equinox always on the same day? The spring equinox always occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on March 19, 20 or 21. The Gregorian calendar adds a leap day every four years to account for this, and the spring equinox date varies for the same reason. In the late afternoon, the sun creates a shadow that looks like a snake sliding down the northern staircase. And in Stonehenge, England, pagans, druids and tourists watch the picturesque sunrise at the prehistoric monument.
