There are two solstices each year: the summer solstice and the winter solstice. The summer solstice occurs around June 21, marking the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The winter solstice takes place around December 21, representing the shortest day of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, these events are reversed, with the summer solstice in December and the winter solstice in June.
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.
One can learn about solstices from the following sources: "Wikipedia", "solstices benefits", "Almanac", "physical Geography", to mention a few. One can also get more information by buying solstices books of Amazon or reading Google books.
They seem very advanced to me. They used the resources around them for many purposes. They never wasted anything, they used everything they got. They were also highly advanced in astronomy. The pretty much figured out the solstices. They built many little temples where you can see the sun exactly on the solstices.
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 are 24 hours during solstices, just like every other day of the year.

The northern hemisphere experiences two solstices: the summer solstice in late June and the winter solstice in late December. These solstices mark the longest and shortest days of the year, respectively.
The're the longest and shortest days of the year!

The equinoxes and solstices are the first days of seasons. On the equinoxes, night and day is the same length. On the solstices, the day is either the longest or the shortest day of the year, depending on which solstice it is and which hemisphere you are in,
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.
The solstices take place at different times each year. The next one in the northern hemisphere is December 21, 2012 at 11:12 AM.

A lot of things. equinoxes, solstices, (as a few) you need to elaborate more :)
Approximately 1,600 Pontiac Solstices were produced in the limited-edition "Mysterious" orange paint. This color was available for the 2009 model year as part of the Solstice lineup. The orange paint became a sought-after feature among enthusiasts due to its rarity and striking appearance.
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.
