The vernal equinox is the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere , with the sun crossing above Earth 's equator, moving from south to north, at 5:01 a.m. EST ( 0901 GMT ) on March 20 .

This means that after months of being pointed away from the sun during the winter , Northern Hemisphere will now begin pointing toward the sun.

Earth experiences seasonal changes because its axis is tilted so different areas of the planet face sun's direct rays through the year .
