Solstice

If you live in the midlatitudes of Earth’s Northern Hemisphere—and there’s a pretty good chance you do—you’ve probably noticed the days getting shorter and the nights growing longer over the past few weeks.

UTC on December 22).At that time, the sun was at its southernmost point in the sky, or, if we take a more cosmic perspective, Earth’s northern axis was tipped the…

During the Earth's trip around the Sun, solstices come around twice a year, at the points in Earth's orbit where this tilt is most pronounced. The summer solstice begins around June 21 whereas the December solstice arrives on December 21. Solstices also mark the change of seasons throughout the year.

June 21 is an interesting date. It is the date when Earth has its longest day and the shortest night. This date is also known as the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere of the world. In the northern hemisphere, summer is in the middle of the year.

After June 21, the days start to get shorter…
