Fall Coloring Pages for the Holidays

There are only a few weeks left before winter is upon us so here are some fall coloring pages to enjoy.

According to the astronomical calendars, the Fall Equinox took place at the exact moment when the sun was perpendicular to the equator, which was on September 22, 2010.

For the Southern Hemisphere, the Fall Equinox happens in March.  The reason the seasons are reversed is the tilt of the earth on its axis. On the fall and spring equinoxes, the sun rises exactly east and sets exactly west. In other words, on those two days, you can find due east and due west. Ancient people used this information to set up their calendars.
