solstices
Definition
- Solstices are points along the path of the sun's apparent orbit (also known as the ecliptic) that, when viewed from a point on Earth, mark where the sun is at its farthest from the extension of Earth's equator across the night sky, also known as the celestial equator. The term solstice literally means “sun stoppage” due to the apparently long day. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Solstices]
