Antarctica has its longest days in December, which is summer in the southern hemispher, and its longest nights in June, which is winter. At the Pole, the sun never rises during the shortest days and never sets during the longest days.
Equinoxes are when there are twelve hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The autumnal equinox is on September 21st on average, and the vernal equinox is on March 21st on average. You can tell that the seasons have changed and the equinoxes and solstices have occured because the amount of sunlight changes and temperatures also change. Solstices are when there is either the shortest or longest amount of daylight. The summer solstice is when there is the longest amount of daylight. After the summer solstice, days begin to slowly get shorter until the autumnal equinox. The winter solstice is when there is the shortest amount of daylight. After the winter solstice the days get longer until you reach the vernal equinox.
The Equinox (Vernal & Autumnal) There are only two times of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes. These events are referred to as Equinoxes
