They occur in December and June, on the 21st or 22nd of the month.
Yes. If we did not insert the leap day during leap year, the calendar date of the equinoxes and solstices would change and eventually come at very different times in the calendar year. The whole purpose of Leap Year/Leap Day is to keep our calendar aligned with the equinoxes, solstices, and seasons in general.
Equinox
There are two solstices. they are the summer solstice (first day of summer), and the winter solstices (first day of winter An equinox is when day and night are the same length. like solstices, there are two of them. The Autumn equinox (first day of autumn), and then the spring equinox (first day of spring).

The equinoxes and solstices are the first days of seasons. On the equinoxes, night and day is the same length. On the solstices, the day is either the longest or the shortest day of the year, depending on which solstice it is and which hemisphere you are in,
The solstices occur at the points where the Earth is either closest to, or farthest away from, the Sun. The equinoxes are the mid-points between the solstices - where the day & night are of equal length.
The revolution of the Earth around the sun causes the changing seasons and the positions of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted most toward or away from the sun, leading to the longest and shortest days of the year. The equinoxes occur when the tilt is at a right angle to the sun, resulting in day and night being of nearly equal length.
The solstices are the longest and shortest days of the year; there are always two every year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually June 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually December 20 or 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually December 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually June 20 or 21.
There are 24 hours during solstices, just like every other day of the year.
the revolution of earth and the solstices that occur every once a...... don't know!!
