All right. Well, let's start from the end of the exhaust cycle (piston is up).
The intake valve opens as the piston goes down, sucking in the fuel/air mixture. The valve closes when the piston reaches the bottom. As the piston makes its way back up, it compresses the mixture and near the top the spark plug ignites the mixture. This explosion sends the piston shooting down again and as it comes back up, the exhaust valve opens and the piston shoves waste gasses out of the engine. Then that valve closes and the cycle starts all over again.
They are closed during the power stage.
-intake: exhaust closed, intake open -compression: exhaust closed, intake closed -combustion: exhaust closed, intake closed -exhaust: exhaust open, intake closed

Closed.
Both the intake and the exhaust valve are closed.

During the power or combustion stage of a piston cycle, both valves are necessarily closed, because the expansion of gases is driving the piston down.
Is the time when intake and exhaust valve remain oper during the exhaust stroke.

Well gee, it's kind of difficult to describe positions of Earth in its orbit. The only way I know to describe it during northern-hemisphere Summer would be to say that it's the position where a line from the sun to the Earth points in the general direction of Orion.
