Answer 2

Characteristics of the summer solstice.

• The occurrence of the summer solstice is at the moment when the earth's tilt toward the sun is at a maximum.
• Hence, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position which changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice.
• In fact, the word solstice comes from Latin solstitium or sol (the sun) + -stit-, -stes (standing).
• The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, located at 23.5° latitude North and it runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China.
• For every place that is north of the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is at its highest point in the sky and this is the longest day of the year.
