The maximum tilt of one of the Earths poles towards the sun. It happens twice a year, once for each hemisphere. 20th June 2024 is the day with the longest period of daylight ans the shortest night time 21:21 sunset and 06:21 sunrise.
The summer solstice has been culturally important since the beginning of humankind. It isnt only humans who are impacted by its light, many animal species experience a peak in reproductive activity during the solstice. The abundance of food and mild westher creates optimal breeding conditions.
This solstice I joined 4 friends to talk about our lives in a beautiful local field in Cheshire.
