How does the revolution of the Earth correlate to the solstices and the equinoxes?
The revolution of the Earth around the sun causes the changing seasons and the positions of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted most toward or away from the sun, leading to the longest and shortest days of the year. The equinoxes occur when the tilt is at a right angle to the sun, resulting in day and night being of nearly equal length.
How are solstices and equinoxes different from each other?
Solstices and equinoxes are different in terms of the position of the Earth in relation to the sun. Solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted either towards or away from the sun, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year. Equinoxes, on the other hand, occur when the Earth's axis is not tilted towards or away from the sun, resulting in equal day and night lengths.
How many days during the year is the Sun directly overhead in the continental US?
The Sun is directly overhead in the continental US on two specific days each year, typically around late June and late December. These correspond to the summer and winter solstices respectively.
How many tornadoes occur every year?
The United States averages about 1200 tornadoes each year. Worldwide the number is less certain.
What are the two points on the ecliptic which the sun is farthest from the celestial equator?
The two points on the ecliptic where the sun is farthest from the celestial equator are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These are located approximately at 23.5 degrees north and south of the celestial equator, respectively. The sun reaches these points during the summer and winter solstices.
Does the leap day affect when equinoxes and solstices occur?
Yes. If we did not insert the leap day during leap year, the calendar date of the equinoxes and solstices would change and eventually come at very different times in the calendar year. The whole purpose of Leap Year/Leap Day is to keep our calendar aligned with the equinoxes, solstices, and seasons in general.
What day do solstices occur?
They occur in December and June, on the 21st or 22nd of the month.

When do the solstices take place in The northern hemisphere?
The solstices take place at different times each year. The next one in the northern hemisphere is December 21, 2012 at 11:12 AM.
What and when are the solstices?
The solstices are the longest and shortest days of the year; there are always two every year. In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually June 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually December 20 or 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, the summer solstice (longest day) is usually December 20 or 21 and the winter solstice (shortest day) is usually June 20 or 21.

What are the dates for each solstice?
The solstices are generally on June 21 and December 21 each year, but these dates can vary a day either way depending on the cycle of leap years. You can see the precise time of the solstices and equinoxes each year on the U.S. Naval Observatory's web page "Earth's Seasons", at the link below.
Are there different end dates for spring depending on the year?
Yes, the date of each of the equinoxes and each of the solstices varies from year to year due to the differences between a calendar year (365 or 366 days) and an average actual year (about 365.24219878 days). The dates of the solstices and equinoxes also vary depending on where you are on earth, since there are always at least two days in progress on earth at any given time.
How many hours are there during solstices?
