- Abstract
The article discusses the concept of solstice, which describes the day, moment or when the sun stops its north or south apparent motion. Accordingly, it comes from the Latin words sol for Sun and sistere for stand still. It is being stated based on a perspective north of the equator at midday, the Sun will be low over horizon in the south and that from the Southern Hemisphere, the Sun will be at its highest point above the northern horizon. Hence, the author implies that longitude is the same for both images, however the latitude for one is 40 degrees north, having the other 40 degrees.
