A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, marking the points when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. This results in the longest day of the year, known as the summer solstice, and the shortest day of the year, known as the winter solstice. The summer solstice usually occurs around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, while the winter solstice occurs around December 21. During the summer solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives more direct sunlight, leading to longer daylight hours. Conversely, during the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere experiences shorter daylight hours and less direct sunlight. The term “solstice” derives from the Latin words “sol,” meaning sun, and “sisters,” meaning to stand still, as the position of the sun appears to pause at these points in its yearly path. Solstices have been significant throughout history and across cultures, often associated with seasonal festivities, agricultural practices, and various religious observances.
