Explanation / Answer

2.

1.Autumnal equinox :- 22nd september and 23.5 degree N

2.Vernal equinox :- 21st march and 23.5 degree S

3.summer solstice :- 21st june 23.5 degree N

4.winter solstice :- 21st december and 23.5 degree S

the arctic and antarctic circes are at +66.5 and -66.5 respectively and on 21st december sun will be directly over tropic of capricorn at noon and hence will not be visible from arctic circle and hence the same for antarctic circle on 21st june as sun will be over tropic of cancer at noon and not visible from below antarctic circle
