The Vernal Equinox happens around March 21st each year. It's when the sun is directly above the equator. The word "vernal" means related to spring. The equinox is a special day that divides winter and summer, marking the beginning of warmer days and new growth in nature. People notice changes in the weather and the increasing length of daylight, signaling that spring has officially started.Day and night are about equal in length on the Vernal Equinox. This balance of light and dark is unique and significant in many cultures, symbolizing harmony and new beginnings. As the sun continues its path, it moves further toward the northern hemisphere. This shift brings warmer temperatures, more sunlight, and supports better crop growth. Farmers and gardeners particularly look forward to this period for planting and preparing the soil.
The northern hemisphere experiences noticeable natural changes after the Vernal Equinox. Plants begin to bloom, animals become more active, and the weather gradually becomes milder. Rainfall increases in some regions, aiding agricultural growth. This period is crucial for ecosystems, as the balance of day and night along with temperature changes affects plants, animals, and human activities alike. Observing these shifts helps people understand nature's rhythms and plan their seasonal activities effectively.
That concludes the beginner English reading practice compiled by Qicai editor Xiao Wu. We hope you gain some benefits from listening to it!
