Wouldn't it depend on where you are on Earth? Or hemisphere atleast

B Would be the beginning of Summer June 21st
Do you need the explanation?

If you could that would help :) Thank you so much!

At position B the Northern Hemisphere receives more sunlight (the axis points toward the sunlight.
Since the Sun revolves around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction, do you think you can determine the dates for C, D and A?

Incidentally, at position B, that marks the beginning of WINTER for the Southern Hemisphere.

Would it be, C Fall equinox, September 22nd, D Winter Solstice, December 21st, A Spring solstice, March 20th? And it would be opposite for the Southern Hemisphere because the sun is on the opposite side like summer is winter and winter is summer?
