The solstices occur when the Sun reaches its maximum angular distance above or below the sky's "celestial equator".
At local noon, at the solstice, the Sun is at its highest in the sky (summer solstice) or
lowest (winter solstice) for the year.
The solstices occur around the 21st of June and 21st of December.
The summer solstice is in June in the northern hemisphere and in December in the Southern Hemisphere.
At the summer solstice, the Sun is overhead at local noon on the tropic of Cancer (northern hemisphere) and the tropic of Capricorn (southern hemisphere).

What are an equinox and a solstice?
A solstice is the time of the year where the sun reaches its lowest point and highest point, the winter solstice being the shortest day around the 21st December (for people in the northern hemisphere) and the longest day being around the 21st June. Its to do with the tilt of the earth, which remains constant as it orbits the sun. At the winter solstice, the tilt is exactly away from the sun, while during the summer solstice the tilt is pointing exactly towards the sun. The equinoxes are the halfway points between these events, around the 21st of March and September, where the earths tilt is such that both day and night (for the whole planet) is the same length - 12 hrs.
