The summer solstice occurs when the sun reaches its highest point in the Northern Hemisphere. The regions of the north of the equator receive direct sunlight on the earth making the days longer, and nights shorter. The summer solstice occurs when the sun shines overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. This is the day when the North Pole is titled closet to the sun; making it the longest day for those living in the Northern Hemisphere.

Winter solstice is when the sun reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemisphere. In the case of the winter solstice, the days are shorter and the nights are longer because the north of the equator does not get direct sunlight on the earth.Winter solstice occurs when the North Pole furthest from the sun; making it is the shortest day of the year. At the winter solstice, the sun lies directly over the Tropic of Capricorn
