What occurs between the two solstices?
The two equinoxes.
What moths don't have a solstice or a equinox?
Moths don't possess the ability to track solstices or equinoxes as they lack the cognitive capacity to understand celestial events. Their behaviors are mainly triggered by environmental factors such as light, temperature, and pheromones to regulate activities like mating, foraging, and migration.
Can you see the moon on a solstice day?
Most of the time, yes. There really isn't any connection between the phases of the Moon and the solstices or equinoxes.
How does the position of earth determine whether it is one of the solstice or equinox days?
The solstices occur at the points where the Earth is either closest to, or farthest away from, the Sun. The equinoxes are the mid-points between the solstices - where the day & night are of equal length.
How many cultures or civilizations use equinoxes or solstices in their life?
Many cultures and civilizations around the world incorporate equinoxes and solstices into their calendars, traditions, and rituals. Examples include the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, Greeks, Celts, and various indigenous peoples.

Does the leap day affect when equinoxes and solstices occur?
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.
What are solstices and equinoxes and how are they related to the seasons?
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.

How long does a season last?

How are the solstices and equinoxes related to the seasons?
" seasons are the manifestation of solsticesand equinoxesand are markers of the seasons
How does the revolution of the Earth correlate to the solstices and the equinoxes?
The revolution of the Earth around the sun causes the changing seasons and the positions of the solstices and equinoxes. The solstices occur when the Earth's axis is tilted most toward or away from the sun, leading to the longest and shortest days of the year. The equinoxes occur when the tilt is at a right angle to the sun, resulting in day and night being of nearly equal length.
How solstices and equinoxes different?
Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path crosses the celestial equator. Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
What is happening every half year?
A lot of things. equinoxes, solstices, (as a few) you need to elaborate more :)
