Question

what do you mean by the terms equinox and sltice

Answer 1

Answer:

Solstice takes place twice a year i.e. summer solstice and winter solstice. After wintersolstice the sun follows a higher path in the sky until it reaches spring equinox when the days and nights are of almost equal length. The word equinox is derived from Latin words – 'aequus' which means equal and 'nox' meansnight.
