In the northern hemisphere it is around the 21st of June and in the Southern Hemisphere it is around the 21st of December.
winter has the shortest amount of daylight and summer has the greatest amount of daylight./
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.
Those are the days when the sun reaches the "solstices" ... June 21 and December 21.
The solstices occur at the same time around the world, but what one hemisphere calls the summer solstice the other hemisphere calls the winter solstice, and vice versa, since the seasons are always opposite across the equator.
There is no "spring solstice", there is a spring equinox and a summer solstice.
They are the Summer and Winter Solstices
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).

The two seasons that begin with solstices rather than equinoxes are summer and winter.

The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
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.
winter has the shortest amount of daylight and summer has the greatest amount of daylight./
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.
