Assigner: Alan
Description: A solstice is an astronomical event that happens twice each year, when the tilt of the Earth’s axis is most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun’s apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. It is also referred to as the Summer Solstice, which is June 21st, the longest day of the year. Whether you interpret it as the ‘Summer solstice’ or as an ‘astronomical event that happens twice a year’ is up to you!
