Winter ends and spring begins when the sun is directly overhead on the equator. This year the Vernal Equinox takes place Saturday, March 20 at 1:32 p.m. EDT. The apparent south-north migration of the sun's direct rays occurs because of the tilt of the Earth's axis and the movement of the Earth around the sun.
