Answer:

1.A solstice is a moment in the year when the Sun's apparent path is farthest north or south from Earth's Equator. There are two solstices each year—one in December and one in June. ... The word solstice comes from the Latin words sol, meaning sun, and sistere, meaning to stand still / either of the two times in the year, the summer solstice and the winter solstice, when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, marked by the longest and shortest days.

2.the time or date (twice each year) at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length (about 22 September and 20 March).

3.The definition of an axis is a real or imaginary line on which something rotates, or a straight line around which things are evenly arranged. ... An example of axis is the line running through the body from head to feet determining left and right sides./ an imaginary line about which a body rotates

4.the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft round a star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution.
