June Solstice

Post by Dragon Tue Jun 20, 2023 2:48 am

There are two solstices every year: one in June and one in December.

The June solstice marks the longest day north of the equator and the shortest day in the south.

The June solstice is the moment the Sun is directly above the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere.

This is the northernmost latitude it reaches during the year.

After the solstice, it begins moving south again.

Since the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun in June, it receives more sunlight during the course of a day.

The North Pole's tilt toward the Sun is greatest at the solstice, so this event marks the longest day of the year north of the equator.

places within the Arctic Circle experience Midnight Sun or polar day, when the Sun does not set at night.

Conversely, the day of the June solstice is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. Here, too, the effect is greater the farther a location is away from the equator.

Places within the Antarctic Circle experience polar night, when the Sun does not rise at all.
