Key Points

  • Summer Solstice occurs on 21 June while the winter solstice occurs on 22 December.
  • These are the days when the sun's path in the sky is the farthest north or south from the equator.
  • A hemisphere's winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and its summer solstice the year's longest.
  • On 21 March and 23 September, direct rays of sun fall on the equator.
  • At this position, neither of the poles is tilted towards the sun, so the whole world experiences equal days and equal nights.
  • This is called an equinox.

Thus, we can say the following is the right pair.

a) Summer Solstice - 21 June 

b) Winter Solstice - 22 December

c) Equinox - 21 March
