Summer Solstice 2024: Reason Behind the Phenomenon Explained

This year, the Summer solstice is on June 20. This means the northern hemisphere will experience longer days and shorter nights  


On the contrary, the southern hemisphere will witness the complete opposite today, the winter solstice.


The reason behind the summer solstice is quite easy to understand.


The Earth continuously revolves around the sun and is tilted at an axis of 23.5 degrees.


The summer solstice is a day when the Earth's north pole is closest to the sun. This results in the longest days experienced in the northern hemisphere.

The sun is exactly overhead the Tropic of Cancer on this day. The greatest increase in daylight hours occurs in the regions closest to the poles, resulting in the midnight sun that is visible all night long.
