Answer: pls mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

The summer solstice, also known as estival solstice or midsummer, occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern). For that hemisphere, the summer solstice is when the Sun reaches its highest position in the sky and is the day with the longest period of daylight. Within the Arctic circle (for the northern hemisphere) or Antarctic circle (for the southern hemisphere), there is continuous daylight around the summer solstice. On the summer solstice, Earth's maximum axial tilt toward the Sun is 23.44°. Likewise, the Sun's declination from the celestial equator is 23.44°.

  • summer solstice is the longest day of the year - that means it has the most hours of sunlight. In the northern hemisphere (where the UK is) in 2020 it falls on Saturday 20 June. It will take place at 10:43pm. The summer solstice marks the end of spring and start of summer.
