The summer solstice occurs when a
planet's rotational axis, in either northern or
southern hemispheres, is most inclined toward
15
the star16
that it orbits.
This happens twice
each year (once in
each hemisphere), at
which times the Sun
reaches its highest
position
in the sky as
22
23
seen from the north or the south pole.
The summer solstice day has the longest period
of daylight – except in the polar regions,
where daylight is continuous.
