Answer 1

Explanation:

• The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice.
• It is also the day that the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky. The winter solstice, or the shortest day of the year, happens when the Earth's North Pole is tilted farthest from the Sun.

Answer 2

Answer:

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, meaning it experiences the maximum intensity of the sun's rays and has the most hours of sunlight. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and has the fewest hours of daylight.
