I have even asked myself this question this year. While many calendars say the start of spring is March 21st, others have said that it begins March 20th. So which one is right?
Well, this article should clear up any confusion you may have! -CANDY

Spring, vernal equanoix, sun over equator, 12 hours daylight, 12 hours dark. Knowing all this, why is it not equal in RFD? Sun rise 7:00 AM, sunset 7:08 official numbers from your weather show yesterday. Why the eight minute differance? Thanks Eric Gene B.
