There isn't a spring solstice!There is a summer solstice, when daylight is longest (i.e. there is the longest interval between sunrise and sunset). In the northern hemisphere this falls on July 21 or 22 (it varies, depending how recently was the last leap year), and in the southern hemisphere on December 21 or 22.The winter solstice, when daylight is shortest, is on December 21 or 22 north of the equator, and July 21 or 22 in the south.The mid-point between two solstices is called an equinox. The name means that there is the same interval between sunrise and sunset as there is between sunset and the following sunrise. There is one equinox in spring, one in fall (autumn). The dates are March 21 or 22 (spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, fall in the south) and September 21 or 22 (fall equinox in the north, spring in the south).==============================The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere falls on or about June 21 (not July 21 or 22).The winter solstice south on the equator is on June 21 (not July 21 or 22).

The Sun's rays strike the latitude of 23.5 degrees (the Tropic of Cancer) at a direct angle of 90 degrees during the summer solstice, around June 21. Conversely, at the Tropic of Capricorn, located at -23.5 degrees latitude, the Sun's rays strike directly at 90 degrees during the winter solstice, around December 21.

What latitude on earth receives the vertical rays from the sun when earth is a position M?
When the Earth is in position M, which typically corresponds to the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (around June 21), the latitude that receives the vertical rays of the sun is 23.5° N, known as the Tropic of Cancer. Conversely, during the winter solstice (around December 21), the vertical rays hit 23.5° S, or the Tropic of Capricorn. During equinoxes, the sun's rays are directly overhead at the equator (0° latitude).
