In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the summer season is the day of the year when the Sun is farthest north (on June 20th or 21st). This day is known as the Summer Solstice. The declination of the Sun on the Summer Solstice is known as the tropic of cancer (23Â° 27'). In the southern hemisphere, winter and summer solstices are exchanged so that the Summer Solstice is the day on which the Sun is farthest south.
21st June is known as summer solstice -- the day when the sun is directly overhead the Tropic of <b>Cancer</b> at noon -- officially marking the first day of the season of summer. <br /><br /> It's the longest day of the year, in that we have the most hours of sunlight. That is because the Earth's axis tilts the most towards the Sun at noon, at 1406 hrs to be precise.
