~Summer - June 21st~

The time of year when the sun reaches the farthest north or farthest south. The word solstice means "sun stands still." Summer solstice: The day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year. It is the beginning of summer, on June 21st or 22nd. In the northern half of the world, June 21st is the first full day of summer. The sounds of lawn mowers are everywhere, and everyone's headed to the pool. It's time for sun screen and summer fun. When the North Pole points toward the sun, the sun's rays hit the northern half of the world more directly. That means it is warmer and we have summer. Summer is even warmer and winter is colder because of the length of our days and nights. In the summer daylight lasts longer and nighttime is shorter. That means there is more time for the sun to warm us during long summer days. June 21st is not only the first day of summer. It is also the longest day of the year north of the equator. That's called the summer solstice .
