The 'solstices' are not events and they're not calendar dates. They are the
two points on the map of the stars that are the farthest north and south of
the celestial equator that the sun can ever be. The sun reaches those points
near June 21 and December 22 of each year,
That's called a solstice.
Latitude is the measure of distance, in degrees, minutes and seconds, from the equator. The farther from the equator, the higher the latitude until one reaches the North Pole or the South Pole, which are the highest latitudes of 90 degrees.
The point in a planet's orbit where it reaches its maximum distance from the Sun is called the Aphelion.
The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
The greatest loss of life is usually the result of flooding.
That's called a solstice.
a solstice is the day when the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator.
Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice respectively.
a solstice is a time when the sun reaches the point where it is lowest and highest at noon and longest and shortest day.solstice The two days of the year on which the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator

That hemisphere is tilted towards the sun to its greatest amount. It is the summer solstice in that hemisphere. The sun reaches its highest point and you have the most amount of daylight hours. The further from the equator you are, the more hours of daylight there is.That hemisphere is tilted towards the sun to its greatest amount. It is the summer solstice in that hemisphere.

winter
Summer and winter
That would be "Winter".
When the sun is south of the equator, it would be winter in the northern hemisphere.
The points where the sun reaches the greatest distance north or south of the equator are called The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. At one time the sun was in those constellations when it reached those points. It has shifted due to precession of the poles. It will be back in them in about 20,000 years.
