What does the solstices mean?

The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination (degrees above the horizon at a given time -say noon); that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path (as seen from Earth) comes to a stop before reversing direction.When the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator; the point in the apparent path of the Sun at which the Sun is farthest north or south of the equator.There are two solstices every year on about June 20-21 and December 21-22.Solstice means either of the 2 times in the year, the northern (summer) solstice and the southern (winter) solstice, when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, these are also the longest and shortest days (though the difference in daylight duration from day to day around the solstices is least during the year and hardly noticeable.At the instant of solstice the axis of the Earths rotation lies in a plane that intersects the Sun. Coincidentallyly the Earths elliptical orbit now has its major axis close to the solstices so that the Earth is furthest from the Sun about two weeks after the northern (summer) ssolstice and closest to the Sun around January 4-5, less than two weeks after the southern (winter) solstice.The word solstice is derived from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstices, the Sun stands still in declination; that is, the seasonal movement of the Sun's path (as seen from Earth) comes to a stop before reversing direction.

What is the term for point at which the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator?

Those points on the map of the sky are the "solstices".

What is the term for the point at which the sun reaches it greatest distance north or south of the equator?

Those points on the map of the sky are the "solstices".

Where do solstices come from?

Solstices originate from the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun. As the Earth revolves, the tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in the two solstices: the summer solstice, when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, leading to the longest day of the year, and the winter solstice, when the Sun is at its lowest point, resulting in the shortest day. These events have been observed and celebrated by cultures around the world for centuries.

Point on Earths surface directly above an earthquakes starting point?

Which point on earths surface experiences night for 24 hours every day?

There is no point on the earths surface that experiences night for 24 hours every day.

What the difference between an earthquake's focus and it epicentre?

The focus is the point in the earths crust where the earthquake originates and the epicentre is the point in the earths surface directly above the focus.
