It is offically Spring by the calendar. Tell me what that means as far as the sun is concerned. Why does spring come at a certain time on our calendar, and how is that date determined by where the sun is? (hopefully that makes sense. I don't want to give you too many hints)
Also tell me about Easter. How do we determine the date of Easter? Why do we change it every year. Try and find some history about Easter that will tell me more about this.
Leave a website or two so I can do some looking too.
Spring is one of the four temperate seasons, the transition period between winter and summer. Spring and springtime refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. The specific definition of the exact timing of spring varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. At the spring equinox, days are close to 12 hours long with day length increasing as the season progresses.
