Spring Is In The Air! Spring is one of the four seasons, and it brings mild, warmer weather. As the Earth revolves around the Sun (It takes one full year for it to completely rotate around the Sun one time.), the side of the Earth you live on, or hemisphere, is either closer to the Sun or farther away. The warmer weather is due to the closer distance to the Sun. The beginning of Spring is marked by the Vernal Equinox. An Equinox, which only happens twice a year, is the only day of the year when both day and night are the same length of time. In the Northern Hemisphere, we experience the Vernal Equi- nox (or irst day of Spring) around March 21, while in the Southern Hemisphere, on the opposite side of the Earth, they are having their irst day of Autumn. Our Spring usually lasts until around the end of June when the hemisphere is even closer to the Sun, and the hot Summer weather ar- rives. During Spring, the lowers bloom; trees once again have green leaves; plants grow; animals become active again; and gardens are planted. Lots of people begin to spend more time outdoors, while others “Spring” clean their homes. Spring Animal Sudoku Spring Word Find
