Summer solstice takes place when one of the Earth’s poles reaches its maximum tilt toward the Sun. When that happens, we experience the largest number of hours of sunlight in the year.
Summer solstice marks the astronomical beginning of summer. After summer solstice, the days start getting shorter with a little less sunlight each day.
Summer solstice takes place in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20, 2024. (It always occurs on June 20, 21 or 22.)
