Hello! I'm off a day, but here are my thoughts about the vernal equinox--happy spring!
If its a nice day on the 1st day of spring, the vernal equinox, then what should we expect our spring and summer weather to be like? The sun is our atmospheric generator. It's intensity lies today (or yesterday or who knows, because our calendar might be off a day or two) on the equator. A direct focus. Is its insolation more intense during the equinoxes and the solstices? The sphericity of the globe would lend me to believe that the intensities would be at different spots on the globe. As the earth turns, the sun's direct ray will follow the spherical shape, thus enlongating the directness of the ray. So the areas between the tropics to the equator do not get a direct shot of sunshine. Again, I'm sure there is something written down about this. I'd rather expand my mind by thinking of this than reading about it. I'll check sources later. So don't take this scientific (or pseudo) ranting to heart. So are the equinoxes and solstices a measurment for weather forecasts? I don't know--I'll check those sources later. I hope everyone enjoyed their equal day and night, now let's watch the days get longer.
