The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
The northern hemisphere experiences two solstices: the summer solstice in late June and the winter solstice in late December. These solstices mark the longest and shortest days of the year, respectively.
The anagram is the plural noun "solstices" (calendar days with longest days or nights, which can mark the beginning of summer or winter).
The latitude lines that mark the summer and winter solstices are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5° North latitude, marks the position of the sun during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, the Tropic of Capricorn, at approximately 23.5° South latitude, marks the position of the sun during the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. These latitudes define the limits of the sun's zenith during these solstices.

When it is winter in the US it is summer in Australia. When it is spring in the US it is autumn in Australia. The seasons are always alternating like this between the northern and southern hemispheres. The starting times for the various seasons are the same in both hemispheres: The solstices mark the beginning of winter for one hemisphere and summer in the other; the equinoxes mark the beginning of spring or of autumn, depending on the hemisphere.
No, the solstices and equinoxes mark the beginnings of the four seasons.
Two equinoxes (from the word 'equal') occur each year: one in the Spring, called the vernal equinox from a word for green-ness, and also the autumnal equinox in the Fall. On the day and hour of the equinoxes, days and nights are the same length of time.

You are incorrect. Summer and winter are six months apart. Winter and Spring are 3 months apart. I found this in my science textbook. If you would like to question this,read the textbook yourself.

Solstices and equinoxes mark key points in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, significantly influencing seasonal changes. The summer and winter solstices represent the longest and shortest days of the year, respectively, while the equinoxes denote the moments when day and night are approximately equal in length. These astronomical events have cultural, agricultural, and ecological importance, historically guiding planting and harvesting cycles and shaping various cultural celebrations and rituals. Additionally, they serve as reminders of the Earth's tilt and its impact on climate and daylight.
The four days that separate the seasons are; March 20th or 21st ~ Vernal Equinox, December 22nd or 23rd~ Winter Solstice, September 22nd or 23rd~ Autumnal Equinox, and June 21st or 22nd~ Summer Solstice.
June 21st and December 21st, the shortest and longest nights of the year.
