what is equionx and orbit plane
DEFINE
WINTER SOLISTCE
SUMMER SOLISTCE

Answer:
Equinox: An equinox is when the sun passes directly over the equator. There are two equinoxes each year. Equinox can also mean either of the two days when this happens. On these days, the nights are equal in length at latitudes L° North and L° South. The word equinox comes from two Latin words meaning "equal" and "night".
Orbit plane: An orbital plane is the flat, disk-shaped space that connects the center of the object being orbited with the center of the orbiting objects. Because all planets in our solar system share a similar orbital plane, planets don't run in to each other.
WINTER SOLISTCE: The winter solstice is the time when the sun has the biggest distance to the Tropic of Cancer. ... In the Southern Hemisphere this is the shortest day of the year, which has the longest night and is called the Winter Solstice.
SUMMER SOLISTCE: As the Earth moves in its orbit, the tilt of the North Pole changes. When it is tilted away from the Sun, it is winter in the northern hemisphere. In between we have autumn and spring. The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice.

Answer:
Explanation: If the sun's path is observed from the Earth's reference frame, it appears to move around the Earth in a path which is tilted with respect to the spin axis at 23.5°. This path is called the ecliptic. It tells us that the Earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to the plane of the Earth's solar orbit by 23.5°.
Winter solstice: the solstice at midwinter, at the time of the shortest day, about 22 December in the northern hemisphere and 21 June in the southern hemisphere.
Summer solstice: the solstice at midsummer, at the time of the longest day, about 21 June in the northern hemisphere and 22 December in the southern hemisphere.
