Equinoxes are directly related to the changing of seasons. The March equinox marks the beginning of spring and the end of winter on continents of the Northern Hemisphere, such as North America, the northern part of South America, Europe, North Africa, and most of Asia. The March equinox is called the 'vernal equinox' or 'Spring equinox'. During this time, in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of autumn and the end of summer. This equinox is called the 'Autumn equinox' or 'fall equinox'. The Southern Hemisphere includes most of South America, one-third of Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and some Asian islands. The reason behind the opposite seasons in Australia compared to the Northern Hemisphere is due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere.
These terms have different dates depending on whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. The March spring equinox occurs annually on either March 20 or 21. It is when the sun moves from south to north and crosses the celestial equator. It results in days and nights being approximately equal in length all over the world.
