At 7:02 a.m. EDT on Wednesday, March 20<\/a>, the sun will cross directly over the Earth’s equator<\/a> during a moment known as the vernal equinox<\/a> when both day and night are about equal — also the official start of the new season. The seasons are reversed for those in the Southern Hemisphere and the event instead signals the beginning of fall.<\/p>\n

Spring will last three months until June 21<\/a>, and summer will carry on until the autumnal equinox on Sept. 22 at 4:44 p.m, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
