i have a new sign of spring. it is tha the daylight is longer. instead of the sun setting at 4:30 ,it sets at 5:00.this is because the earth is pointed more to the sun.

scence the earth is pointed toward the sun the days are longer and there is more sulight so we can stay out side longer. the affect of more sunlight leads to snow turning to rain. rain is a sign of spring so it all ties together. this is my sign of spring

I saw the constelation hercules in the sky. this is a sign of spring because it doesent appear in till late winter.the story of hercules is after he died his father got upset and made him a constelation so he could live for ever.it is one of the most famous constelations in the sky.

the constelation lies north,northeast in the sky. it looks like a stick figure holeding a shield.on a clear night you can see it very clearly. this is a sign of spring.
