Ladakh's Integration and Significance of Equinoxes and Solstices

This article covers two topics: Ladakh's history and the Earth's seasons.

Ladakh, once an independent kingdom, became part of Jammu and Kashmir in the 1800s.

This changed the area's importance.

The second part explains equinoxes and solstices.

Equinoxes happen twice a year when day and night are equal lengths.

Solstices are when the days are longest or shortest, because of how the Earth tilts toward the sun.
