A solstice is an event occurring when
the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion
relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. Two solstices occur annually, around June 21 and December 21.
An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun's disk, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 22-23 September. In other words, it is the point in which the center of the visible sun is directly over the equator.
