Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year for people living in the Northern Hemisphere, which includes the United Kingdom. Summer Solstice is celebrated every year on June 21 when the Sun is above the Tropic of Cancer. This day sun reaches its highest position, and as noon approaches, shadows begin to disappear at places on the Tropic of Cancer. The word ‘solstice’ comes from the Latin words for sol, meaning 'sun' and sistere meaning 'to stand'. Summer Solstice is the time of year when neither the rising nor setting sun's position changes as it moves across the horizon. Summer Solstice 2023 Date & Time: Know Midsummer Facts and Significance of the Longest Day of the Year.
