On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.

What is the difference between summer solstice and equinox?

The solstice is day of the year with the longest period of light (the summer solstice) or the longest period of night (the winter solstice). The vernal equinox (spring) and autumnal equinox (fall) are the two days in the year in which the periods of light and periods of darkness are exactly the same duration.
