For astronomers, spring will arrive at 10:24 PM on Monday, March 20. The astronomical beginning of spring depends on the position of the sun. It is vertically above the equator only twice a year. And it is at these moments that both hemispheres of the earth are irradiated equally by the sun, despite the angle of inclination of the earth.
