The spring or vernal equinox falls on or around the 20th March in the Northern hemisphere.
The word equinox comes from two Latin words, equus and nox and means 'equal night'; the day when the day and night are of equal length.
It marks the point where the sun passes over the celestial equator from the Southern to the Northern hemisphere and the hours of daylight become longer than the night.
For many, the vernal equinox marks the arrival of spring.
In the UK various celebrations are held, some of the biggest of which take place at Stonehenge.
Why not celebrate the arrival of spring with the help of our fun range of colouring pages and printables?
