The June solstice is the solstice on Earth that occurs annually between 20 and 22 June according to the Gregorian calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice is the summer solstice (the day with the longest period of daylight), while in the Southern Hemisphere it is the winter solstice (the day with the shortest period of daylight). It is also known as the northern solstice. During June solstice, the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, located in the northern hemisphere.
Solar year
[edit]The June solstice solar year is the solar year based on the June solstice. It is thus the length of time between adjacent June solstices.
