8 FA C T S A B O U T S P R I N G
1. TEMPERATURES ARE MODERATE
Spring marks the end of winter and the transitional period to scorching
summer. The Earth's axis is angled between its closest and furthest position
from the Sun, when temperatures are the most extreme.
2. THERE ARE MORE HOURS IN THE DAY
Following the spring equinox, when the Earth’s horizon is perfectly aligned
with the Sun, the days begin lasting longer and the nights get shorter.
3. ALL THE ANIMALS COME BACK
Many species of animals migrated south to follow their food supply during
the winter. Once the spring returns, these animals do too. There is no
better indicator of spring than birds chirping outside your window. Animals
also reproduce in the spring when food is plentiful.
4. YOU’RE ACTUALLY HAPPIER AND ENERGIZED
Exposure to sunlight increases the hormone serotonin in your brain, which
makes you feel happy. Exposure to sunlight decreases the chemical
melatonin in your body during the day and increases it at night, which helps
you sleep better.
5. TREES SUDDENLY HAVE LEAVES AND PLANTS TURN GREEN
Spring brings growth back to plants and trees. A successful spring leaf
growth ensures a cool canopy to relax under during the hot summer. It’s
amazing what a little sunlight, moisture and warm soil can do for plants and
grass. Plants convert sunlight into energy and produce the pigment
chlorophyll, which turns them green.
6. FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE READY TO EAT AND FLOWERS BLOOM
After staying dormant all winter and conserving energy underground,
many fruits and vegetables sprout in the spring. After months spent
conserving energy, colorful flowers bloom in the spring, signaling to the
bees that they are ready for pollination.
7. NO MORE DRY AIR
More moisture in the air means more precipitation in the form of rain. Sit
under a metal roof during the rain for a relaxing evening.
8. YOU CAN GET YOUR VITAMINS NATURALLY
Sunlight triggers your body to produce the vitamin D3, which keeps your
bones strong.
