Equinoxes and Solstices
Why is New Year's Day on 1st January?
As the tilt of the earth’s axis during the two equinoxes is neither towards nor away from the sun, all places get a nearly equal amount of nighttime, resulting in the name. Solstice, on the other hand, comes from the Latin word ‘solstitium’, which literally means ‘sun stands still’! The word was later shortened to solstice in the 14th century.
