CoolFact
In the United States and
the rest of the northern
hemisphere, the first
day of the summer season
is the day of the year
when the Sun is farthest
north (on June 20th or
21st). This day is known
as the Summer Solstice.
The declination of the
Sun on the Summer
Solstice is known as the
tropic of cancer (23°
27'). In the southern
hemisphere, winter and
summer solstices are
exchanged so that the
Summer Solstice is the
day on which the Sun is
farthest south.
A common misconception
is that the earth is
further from the sun in
winter than in summer.
Actually, the Earth is
closest to the sun in
December which is winter
in the Northern
hemisphere.
