When Night and Day Get Even

When Night and Day Get Even

Today, March 19 is the first day of spring. It’s the earliest date that spring can arrive, thanks to Leap Day. It’s also the vernal equinox: because the earth is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun today, everyone on our whole planet has a 12-hour night and a 12-hour day. But if you missed it, don’t worry — we’ll get another equinox as the first day of fall!

Read the story. Talk through the numbers. Kids do best when you do the math together!
