2.1 The Milky Way galaxy (Spiral Galaxy) is the galaxy that includes our Solar System. The
name describes how the galaxy looks from earth; a hazy band of light that can be seen in
the night sky formed from starts that cannot be identified with the naked eye.
It consists of a flat disk with a bulging centre and surrounding spiral arms. The galaxy’s
disk includes the stars, planets, dust, and gas – all of which rotate around the galactic
centre in a regular manner.
2.2 The equinox in the Northern hemisphere occurs twice a year around spring and autumn.
It is the time the plane of Earth’s equator passes through the centre of the sun’s disc and
marks the time when daylight and night-time are approximately the same length,
The solstice occurs twice a year, but in the form of summer and winter seasons and it is
the time when the sun reaches its highest or lowest point in the sky at noon, and solstice
occurs on the longest and shortest days (in terms of sunlight).
