Answer: Northern Hemisphere

Explanation: The March equinox heralds the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere . On this day, the sun rises due east and sets due west.

In the Southern Hemisphere the equinox occurs on September 22 or 23, when the Sun moves south across the celestial equator. According to the astronomical definition of the seasons, the vernal equinox also marks the beginning of spring, which lasts until the summer solstice (June 20 or 21) in the Northern Hemisphere

Hope this helps :)
