Spring Equinox at 18:15 on Tuesday marks official start of season in Greece

The 2018 Spring season officially begins at 18:15 on Tuesday, at the time of the Spring Equinox for the northern hemisphere – though the season has “unofficially” started for some weeks now in the Greek countryside, ANA reports.

At the March equinox, the subsolar point – the border of the sun’s light – hits the equator, then moves northward. In September, at the autumnal equinox, it moves south. On the equinox, the length of daytime and nighttime is roughly the same all over the planet. The date and time of the Spring Equinox is not fixed and falls at various times between March 19 and March 21 on different years.
