Explanation: On this planet we call "Earth", solstices are defined by solar declination—the latitude of the Earth where the sun is directly overhead at noon. On Earth, solstices are twice-yearly phenomena in which solar declination reaches the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the south.

I hope this helps a lot. Have a nice day or night!
