The official start of the summer season is arriving soon.
Although many people think the full day of June 21 is the solstice, technically it’s just a brief moment in time, according to astronomy experts at“The summer solstice for the northern hemisphere is the exact moment when the axial tilt of the Earth is at its most inclined toward the sun during its 365-day orbit — at an
angle of 23° 26′. That doesn’t happen at midday, nor does it happen at midnight; it happens at the exact same time for every country on the planet. It isn’t like a New Year’s celebration when the clock strikes midnight across the time zones in turn — this is a global time event, with the solstice occurring at the same moment.”
