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.
