The June solstice, which falls on or near June 21, is the point it the earth's orbit at which the north pole's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum and the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer. The December solstice, which falls on or near December 21, is the point in the earth's orbit at which the south pole's tilt toward the sun is at its maximum and the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn. The equinoxes, which fall on or near March 20 and September 22, are the points in the earth's orbit at which the earth's rotational axis is perpendicular to the sun's rays and the sun is directly over the equator.
