There is no such thing as a summer equinox. June 21 is actually the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year, in terms of daylight hours.There are two equinoxeseach year, when there are twelve hours of daylight and twelve hours of darkness. These are known as the vernal (or spring) equinox which is normally the 21st if March, and the autumnal equinox which is normally the 21st of September. The dates can vary, due to slight variations in the orbit of the earth, so they can be a day before or after.
Those dates apply to the northern hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere those dates are reversed. In the same way, the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is actually the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.
