Spring Equinox Word Search

The spring equinox arrives around March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun crosses the equator and daylight and darkness come close to even. The word comes from Latin for equal night. Daylight keeps lengthening after that date until the solstice in June, which is why gardeners treat the equinox as a starting gun.
