Why don't you both Google it to learn more? In short, we have 2 equinoxes per year: the vernal (or spring) equinox, and the autumnal (or fall) equinox. On each equinox the length of the days and nights are equal -- 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. The solstices (in summer and winter) on the other hand are when the length of daylight and nighttime hours varies the greatest. The summer solstice has the longest day of the year and the shortest night, while the winter solstice has the longest night and shortest day.

Something you may have noticed is that the makers of Dragonvale have a lot of odd facts and details in their dragon descriptions and notes. The facts for the Solstice dragon are one example, with the breeding time equal to 23.5 hours. I suggest you google "solstice" to find out what significance this angle has.
