Happy Equinox March 20, 2007

Today at 8:07pm ET (5:07pm PT), the sun will cross directly over the equator. This marks the beginning of the Vernal Equinox – or, for those of you Down Under, the Autumnal Equinox. As explained in this Infoplease article:
These brief but monumental moments owe their significance to the 23.4 degree tilt of the Earth’s axis. Because of the tilt, we receive the Sun’s rays most directly in the summer. In the winter, when we are tilted away from the Sun, the rays pass through the atmosphere at a greater slant, bringing lower temperatures. If the Earth rotated on an axis perpendicular to the plane of the Earth’s orbit around the Sun, there would be no variation in day lengths or temperatures throughout the year, and we would not have seasons.
Happy Equinox to you and yours – and may our Persian friends have a blessed Norouz.
