Question

Define :solstice (and it fast)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol ("sun") and sistere ("to stand still"), because at the solstices, the Sun's declination appears to "stand still"; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's daily path (as seen from Earth) pauses at a northern or southern limit before reversing direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Solstice is nothing but unequal day length.

Explanation:

Solstice occurs, when the difference between the distances from each pole to the sun is at its greatest.

Usual days on which Solstice occurs are:

December 21 or 22 : Winter solstice for Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.

June 21 or 22: Summer solstice for Norther hemisphere and vice versa.

The day on which solstice occurs is either the longest or the shortest day of the year.
