Explanation:

1. "The sun is crossing the celestial equator moving north."

The vernal equinox (also called spring equinox) is when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving northward, marking the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere.

The autumnal equinox is when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward, marking the start of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

The summer solstice is the point where the Sun reaches its farthest northern position in the sky, resulting in the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

vernal equinox
