Spring Equinox 2022
Seasons can be defined in several different ways. The astronomical definition is based on the equinoxes and solstices, and spring begins with the spring equinox or vernal equinox. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the equinox in March; south of the equator, it's the September equinox.
Greatest Increase in Day Length
As spring starts, the length of day increases dramatically in most regions—except for the tropics, where day lengths do not change much during the course of a year.
In fact, the increase is greatest in the days surrounding the spring equinox. After that, days still get longer, but at an ever-decreasing rate. On the longest day of the year, the summer solstice, the day-to-day difference reaches zero.
At the same time, locations farther from the equator experience larger day-to-day differences. In Toronto, the day of the spring equinox is 3 minutes longer than the previous day; in Miami, roughly 2000 kilometers or 1200 miles farther south, the difference is only about 1 minute and 31 seconds.
As there are currently restrictions on outdoor group sizes this event will be capped at 20 attendees per current Government guidelines. Please give the number attending in your will attend log.
* Registration may need to be limited based on current gathering restrictions.
* No travel bugs
* If you are feeling ill the day of the event, please stay home.
Come on out and enjoy the fun!
