June 21: Summer Solstice in the North, Winter in the South

Today marks the June Solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, it's the Summer Solstice, signifying the longest day of the year and the astronomical start of summer. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere experiences its Winter Solstice, the shortest day and beginning of winter. This astronomical event is caused by Earth's axial tilt of about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, resulting in the Sun reaching its northernmost point.
