The summer solstice, occurring on June 20 in the Northern Hemisphere, is when the Earth’s tilt makes this region face the sun most directly, resulting in the longest day of the year. Simultaneously, the Southern Hemisphere experiences its winter solstice, with the shortest day. This celestial event shifts every six months. Equinoxes, occurring in spring and autumn, are when both hemispheres receive equal sunlight. This year, the summer solstice coincides with a full moon known as the strawberry moon, named by Indigenous tribes due to its timing with the strawberry harvest.
