Q1- If the Summer Solstice gives us the longest day of the year, why isn't it usually the hottest day of the year?
Even though it’s the longest day, the Earth keeps heating up for some time after that because the land and oceans slowly absorb and store heat. So the hottest days usually come a few weeks later, not exactly on the solstice.
Q2- On the Summer Solstice, does the Sun rise earliest, set latest, or both? Explain your answer.
On the Summer Solstice, the Sun sets the latest, but it doesn’t rise the earliest on the same day. The earliest sunrise actually happens a few days before. This happens because of the Earth’s tilt and the way its orbit works.
Q3- If you stood exactly on the Tropic of Cancer during the Summer Solstice at noon, what unusual thing could happen to yourshadow?
At that exact place and time, the Sun is directly overhead, so your shadow can almost disappear or become very small right under your feet. It feels like you don’t have a shadow at all.
