Why is the Vernal equinox always March 20th? The summer solstice and autumnal equinox always fluctuate a day or so. It feels like there should be the same amount of time between them. I did not think a leap year really changes it very much.

The date of both equinoxes vary slightly and have a precise time. Vernal/Spring equinox is usually March 20th or 21st.

Yes, astronomical, but calendar wise, of no significance. Give it a few thousand million years. Odds are, they'll be on different dates.
