Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path
crosses the celestial equator.
Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path
reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
March and September Equinoxes: the Equator (zero latitude)June Solstice: Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees north latitudeDecember Solstice: Tropic of Capricorn, 23.5 degrees south latitude
The solstice occurs in June and December. The June solstice is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, while the December solstice is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
The longest day and shortest night occurs on the summer solstice. The shortest day and longest night occurs on the winter solstice. Midway between these points (2x a year) are the equinox, where the day and night are of equal length.
The terms "solstice" and "equinox" refer to specific points in the Earth's orbit around the Sun that affect daylight and seasonal changes. A solstice occurs twice a year when the Sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year. An equinox also occurs twice a year when day and night are approximately equal in length, marking the transition into spring and autumn. These phenomena are key to understanding the changing seasons.
Equinox. These words both refer to astronomical events related to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
None. The Vernal Equinox is in March and the Summer Solstice is in June. There is no solstice or equinox in May.
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.

An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.
There is only two equinoxes, Autumnal equinox(fall) starts on Sept. 22 or 23, and Vernal equinox(spring) starts on March 20 or 21.
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.
The antonym of equinox is solstice. Solstice refers to the two times a year when the sun is at its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, causing the longest and shortest days of the year.
On a Vernal or autumnal equinox.
