- The June solstice 2026 occurs on 21 June 2026, when the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer.
- It marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere due to maximum daylight.
- The Southern Hemisphere experiences the shortest day because of Earth’s axial tilt of about 23.4 degrees.
- The solstice occurs because Earth’s tilted axis changes the Sun’s apparent position during its orbit around the Earth.
- After the solstice, the Sun appears to shift southward, leading to gradually decreasing daylight in the Northern Hemisphere.
