This is because the equinox marks the official start of spring, according to an astronomical calendar based on the Earth's orbit of the sun. The equinox is an astronomical event in which the sun crosses the celestial equator - the projection of the Earth's equator into space. On the date of the equinox, both day and night are almost the same length around the globe. Afterwards, the day is longer than the night.
The opposite is occurring at the North Pole. You can see from the chart below, depending on where you live on the planet, the day on which you have equal day and night shifts on the calendar.
In a world in which many of us are overextended and stressed, the fact that the planet is spinning around a tilted axis at over 1, miles per hour can be lost. As spring arrives Monday, take a moment to ponder the changes occurring, and how the increase in light and strength of the sun will soon be melting the snow, warming the earth, and bringing about that magical and dramatic metamorphosis to our landscape known as spring.
