History of March Equinox in Cameroon and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
The March equinox occurs in Cameroon when the sun is directly overhead at noon, and day and night are of equal length. This happens around March 21 each year. For several days before and after the equinox, the sun rises and sets at slightly different times each day. But on the equinox, the sun rises and sets at the same time all over the world. The word “equinox” comes from the Latin words for “equal” and “night.”
During an equinox, the sun shines directly on the equator and the day and night are of equal length all over the world. On the equinox, day and night are also of equal length in Cameroon. However, because Cameroon is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the March equinox is the start of autumn in Cameroon.
After the March equinox, the days get shorter and the nights get longer in Cameroon. The September equinox is the start of spring in Cameroon.
