Spring falls after the winter season and before the summer season. All four of the seasons are determined by the change in sunlight. In the Northern Hemisphere, spring begins on either March 19th, 20th or March 21st, depending on the year. However, in the Southern Hemisphere, spring falls between September and November. The beginning of spring is also called the vernal equinox, which means equal nights. This is because the days and nights are approximately equal everywhere, which means that there are about 12 hours of night and 12 hours of daylight. The sun rises earlier and sets later in the spring. There are many signs of spring. The snow melts and the rivers, streams and lakes become fuller. Spring is often called the season of blossoms. Trees, flowers and grass begin to have buds and soon blossom. Temperatures gradually become warmer throughout the spring season. Animals come out of their hibernation or winter hideouts. Many birds will migrate north. Many animals have their babies in the spring. In the spring, birds will build their nests and have their chicks. You will see more animals, birds and bugs in spring than you do in winter. Spring is also the time for changing weather patterns. Sometimes spring will bring storms, floods, hurricanes, warm winds and tornadoes. Spring usually means warmer weather and more rain, which helps the grass and crops begin to grow. Spring showers, sunshine and longer days provide the weather that plants need to grow. There are many changes in nature during the spring. When you take a walk in the spring, it isn't hard to understand why so many people say spring is in the air. Spring ends with a summer solstice.
