History of March Equinox in Kuwait and How to Celebrate/ Observe It
The March equinox is the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above the Earth’s equator – from south to north and day and night are of equal length.
In Kuwait, the March equinox occurs on March 20th at 5:37 pm. At this time, the Sun will be directly over the equator and the length of day and night will be nearly equal. This is because Kuwait is located in the northern hemisphere, and the March equinox marks the beginning of spring in this part of the world.
During the equinox, the Sun shines directly on the equator and the days and nights are of almost equal length all over the world. This is because the Earth’s axis is tilted neither towards nor away from the Sun. The word ‘equinox’ comes from the Latin words for ‘equal night’.
On the day of the equinox, daylight hours in Kuwait will be 13 hours and 25 minutes long. This is just slightly longer than the 12 hours and 44 minutes of darkness. The extra daylight is due to the fact that the Sun appears to move faster in the sky during spring.
The days will continue to get longer until the June solstice, when Kuwait will experience the longest day of the year. After the solstice, the days will start to get shorter again as winter approaches.
