Solstice : 지점, 일년중 낮이 가장 긴 지점과 짧은 지점, 동지점, 하지점

Summer Solstice : 하지

Winter Solstice : 동지


Equinox : (낮과 밤의 길이가 거의 같은) 주야 평분시, 추분 또는 춘분
Equilux : (낮의 길이와 밤의 길이가 정확히 똑같은 지점) 분점 (내가 있는 위치에 따라 그 지점이 달라짐)

Spring Equinox (Vernal Equinox) : 춘분

Autumn Equilnox (Autumnal Equinox) : 추분

 

 

 

1)
solstice, is the longest or shortest day of the year
normally the longest day of the year, the summer solstice is one the 21st of June
the shortest day of the eyar, the winter solstice is the on the 21st of December
the solstice is when the sun is at its maximum angle northwards or the maixmum angle southwards
this gives you the longest day or the shortest day
the summer solstice
the winter solstice

 

2)
the equinox, this is between the two between summer solstice and winter solstice
it's when the sun is directly over the center of the equator and this is where the day and night are approximately equal in length
I say approximately is  because you have another word equilux, that is the moment in time when day and night are exactly equal. Equilux where the length of the day and the length of the night are exactly equal 

 

equinox, this is halfway between your summer and winter solstice
but equilux depends where on earth you are, it depends how fast south or north of the equator you are

 

the equinox is always at the same time is when the sun passes the plane of the equator
the equilux will be on the same day probably but it changes a little due to your angle north or your angle south

 

 

3)

now we are coming towards the autumn equinox, it's day and night are approximately equal
you could have a spring equinox in the spring and autumn equinox in the autumn
spring equinox

autumn exquinox

 


Formality : 6 for solstice
