Question

explain summer and Winter solstice with the help of a diagram​

Answer 1

Summer Solstice:
The day that the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the sun is called the summer solstice. This is the longest day (most daylight hours) of the year for people living in the northern hemisphere. It is also the day that the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky.
Winter Solstice:
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

Summer and Winter solstice are explained below with the help of a diagram​:

Solstice:

A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice yearly as the sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the Equator.

The Summer Solstice:

• On 21 June, the sun is overhead on the Tropic of Cancer (23 1/2°N), known as the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
• Because of the tilt of the earth's axis, the circle of illumination does not pass through the South Pole, and the place north of the Arctic Circle has 24 hours of daylight.
• It is the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
• The Southern Hemisphere experiences the reverse condition as it is tilted away from the sun. i.e., the shortest day of the year.
• So, it is winter there on this day, and the Tropic of Capricorn has the longest night.
• This position is known as the summer solstice in Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in Southern Hemisphere.

The Winter Solstice:

• The winter solstice happens on 21 December, when the South Pole is inclined towards the sun.
• On this day, the midday sun is overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn (23 1/2° S).
• This is the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere but the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere.
• It is summer solstice for the Southern Hemisphere but winter solstice for the Northern Hemisphere.
• The difference between the length of day and night increase from the Equator to the South Pole.
• At Antarctic Circle, the length of the day is 24 hours on 22 December.
• The South Pole experiences continuous days for 6 months. i.e., from 23 September to 21 March.
