Question

What do you mean by summer solstice​

Answer 1

Explanation:

At the summer solstice, the Sun travels the longest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the most daylight. When the summer solstice happens in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted about 23.4° (23°27´) toward the Sun. ... The day has also been celebrated in many cultures

Answer 2

Answer:

The summer solstice, also known as the estival solstice or midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth's poles (the North pole) is at its most inclined to the Sun.

Explanation:

• When the North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, it is called the Summer Solstice.
• It takes place on June 21st.
• Because the Northern Hemisphere is oriented towards the sun, the summer solstice delivers the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere.
• Summers are in the Northern Hemisphere because a huge area of the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight and heat at the summer solstice, whereas winters are in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Although the Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice is the longest day of the year, the dates of the earliest sunrise and latest sunset differ by a few days.
• Because the Earth orbits the Sun in an ellipse, its orbital speed fluctuates significantly during the year, this is the case.
