Q1: Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year because we get the most hours of sunlight, but it is not usually the hottest day because the Earth and oceans need time to warm up. That is why the hottest days often come later.
Q2: On the Summer Solstice, the day is the longest, but the Sun does not always rise the earliest and set the latest on the same day. The timing can be slightly different depending on the location.
Q3: If you stood exactly on the Tropic of Cancer during the Summer Solstice at noon, the Sun could be directly above you, and your shadow could almost disappear or appear right under your feet. It is a very amazing natural event. ☀️
Summer Solstice reminds us how beautiful and amazing our Earth and the Sun’s connection is. ✨
