Solstice

  • When the Sun seems to be at its greatest northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere, it is called a solstice.
  • Around June 21 and December 21, two solstices occur each year.
  • The solstices and equinoxes are used in many nations to designate the year's seasons.

Equinox​

  • The equinox is the point at which the plane of the Earth's equator intersects the geometric center of the Sun's disc.
  • Every year, on the 20th of March and the 23rd of September, this happens.
  • To put it another way, it's when the visible Sun's center is directly above the equator.
