Aw the "First Day of Spring"

I'm so glad that this is the first day of spring! I've been waiting for this all winter. I love the warm weather. Here's a tidbit:

Spring comes in between the 19th to the 23rd of March and at different times. It changes on a yearly basis because the first official day of spring is the (Spring) Vernal EQUINOX. This is when the sun is directly above the equator. It rises due East and sets due West and does not do so on the exact same day every year since the calendar is not exactly 365 precise days every single year. In 2009, spring will arrive on March 20th, as stated above and the sun will be above the equator, crossing to the northern hemisphere at 11:47pm (ish)

Ok thanks for www.WikiAnswers.com for that one! Bye!
