A solstice is the time of the year when the difference between the length of day and a night is at a maximum. At the Summer solstice the North Pole is at its maximum tilt towards the sun so that the Tropic of Cancer is facing the sun. At the Winter solstice the North Pole is at its maximum tilt away from the sun so that the Tropic of Capricorn is facing the sun.
An equinox (literally, equal night) is the time of year when the day and night are of exactly the same length. These happen during the Spring and Autumn: the Polar axis is perpendicular the the Earth-Sun axis: the sun is directly above the equator.

What is the relationship between solstice equinoxes and seasons?
Solstice is the longest day of the year. Exuinox is the shortest day of the year. Summer is the hottest time of the year. Winter the coldest time of year. This temperature difference is a result of the diferent lengths of the day. Solstice is around the middle of summer then, just as equinox is around the middle of winter. Of course there are other things to consider - living near the equator or further away changes everything to do with seasons and even soltice/equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere seasons are all reversed too.
