- The summer solstice occurs because the Earth's North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun.
- It is causing the Sun to reach its highest point in the sky.
- The term "solstice," refers to the point when the Sun's apparent motion in the sky pauses before changing direction.
- Due to Earth's very tilted axis of approximately 23.5 degrees, the Northern Hemisphere receives sunlight at its most direct angle during the solstice.
- Also, the Southern Hemisphere enters winter, experiencing its shortest day and longest night.
