22nd September is the beginning of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere but the beginning of Autumn ["Fall" in ther USA] in the Northern Hemisphere. 22nd April is the beginning of Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere but the beginning of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. 22nd June is the beginning of Winter in the Southern Hemisphere but the beginning of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere. 22nd December is the beginning of Summer in the Southern Hemisphere but the beginning of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
March-June
Early February is between winter solstice & spring equinox.
Solstice is the longest day of the year. Exuinox is the shortest day of the year. Summer is the hottest time of the year. Winter the coldest time of year. This temperature difference is a result of the diferent lengths of the day. Solstice is around the middle of summer then, just as equinox is around the middle of winter. Of course there are other things to consider - living near the equator or further away changes everything to do with seasons and even soltice/equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere seasons are all reversed too.
The definition of equinox and solstice in Antarctica is the same as it is anywhere on earth. Notably, however, Antarctica's seasons are exactly reversed from those in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, the shortest day in Antarctica is June 21, the first day of winter, and the longest day is December, the first day of summer.
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.

None. A solstice marks the beginning of summer and the end of spring and the beginning of winter and the end of autumn.
The summer solstice and equinox are both important events that mark changes in the Earth's seasons. The summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st, is the longest day of the year and marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It has the most daylight hours and the sun is at its highest point in the sky. The equinox, which occurs around March 21st and September 23rd, marks the start of spring and autumn respectively. During the equinox, day and night are nearly equal in length. These events have a significant impact on the Earth's seasons by influencing the amount of sunlight and temperature changes throughout the year.
Different people and places have different definitions for the beginning and end of each season. I follow the rule by which the seasons begin at the times of the solstices and equinoxes. In 1987, the March equinox was on 21 March at 3:52 AM UTC, the June solstice was on 21 June at 10:10 PM UTC, the September equinox was on 23 September at 1:45 PM UTC, and the December solstice was on 22 December at 9:46 AM UTC.

The "Vernal Equinox" is the beginning of "Spring" and the end of "Winter". The Autumnal Equinox is the beginning of "Autumn" or "Fall" and the end of "Summer". In the Northern Hemisphere, the Vernal Equinox is in March and the Autumnal Equinox in September each year.
Solstice is the longest day of the year. Exuinox is the shortest day of the year. Summer is the hottest time of the year. Winter the coldest time of year. This temperature difference is a result of the diferent lengths of the day. Solstice is around the middle of summer then, just as equinox is around the middle of winter.

There are two solstices. they are the summer solstice (first day of summer), and the winter solstices (first day of winter An equinox is when day and night are the same length. like solstices, there are two of them. The Autumn equinox (first day of autumn), and then the spring equinox (first day of spring).
