What Is the <br />Spring Equinox? Spring has sprung and it's time to celebrate the Spring Equinox. But what is it exactly? 'Equinox' is Latin for 'equinoxium' which means 'equal night.' It's one of the few times a year where the <br />day and night are the same length. The northern hemisphere is slowly tilting towards the sun, which means longer days and more sunlight. It's an event marked around the world with festivities. People gather at Stonehenge in England to <br />watch the sun rise. 'Holi' is a Hindu festival that celebrates the start <br />of spring with dancing and colored powder. In Mexico, they celebrate by visiting the <br />Kulkulkan pyramid in Chichen Itza. No matter how you mark the occasion, one thing <br />is clear, warmer weather is on the way!
