In 2020, the June solstice happens on Saturday, June 20, denoting the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Here's all that you have to think about the late spring solstice—the longest day of the year!

The June Solstice

In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice (otherwise known as summer solstice) happens when the Sun arrives at its most elevated and northernmost focuses in the sky. This occasion denotes the beginning of summer in the northern portion of the globe. (In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the inverse: the June solstice denotes the beginning of winter, when the Sun is at its absolute bottom in the sky.)

When Is the Summer Solstice?

In 2020, the June solstice is Saturday, June 20, at 5:44 P.M. EDT. This date denotes the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, happening when Earth shows up at the point in its circle where the North Pole is at its greatest tilt (about 23.5 degrees) around the Sun, bringing about the longest day and most brief night of the schedule year. (By longest "day," we mean the longest time of daylight.) At the June solstice, the Northern Hemisphere gets daylight at the most immediate edge of the year.

Commend the Start of Summer With an Eclipse

An annular sun powered overshadowing will happen on the few days of the solstice, starting not long before 12 PM (Eastern Time) on Saturday, June 20, and arriving at its most extreme point at 2:40 AM EDT on the 21st. Annular shrouds are fundamentally the same as all out sun oriented obscurations, yet as opposed to covering the Sun totally, the Moon just covers the vast majority of the Sun, leaving a slim, sparkling ring—called an "annulus" or "ring of fire"— around the Moon's dull shape.

This obscuration won't be noticeable from North America, however can be seen from parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In case you're not in one of those zones, don't stress! You can watch the overshadowing live on YouTube beginning at 1:00 AM EDT on Sunday, June 21, here: Annular Solar Eclipse Livestream

 After the solstice, the Sun seems to switch course and head back the other way. The movement alluded to here is the clear way of the Sun when one perspectives its situation in the sky simultaneously every day, for instance at neighborhood early afternoon. Throughout the year, its way frames a kind of leveled figure eight, called an analemma. Obviously, the Sun itself isn't moving (except if you think about its own circle around the Milky Way world); rather, this adjustment in position in the sky that we on Earth notice is brought about by the tilt of Earth's pivot as it circles the Sun, just as Earth's curved, as opposed to round, circle.

Does the Solstice Always Occur on the Same Day?

The planning of the June solstice did not depend on a particular schedule date or time; everything relies upon when the Sun arrives at its northernmost point from the equator. Along these lines, the solstice won't generally happen around the same time. Right now, it moves between June 20, 21, and 22.

The Year's Longest Day

The Summer Solstice is the day with the longest time of daylight. Notice how the Sun seems most noteworthy in the sky at the solstice; its beams strike Earth at a more straightforward edge, causing the productive warming we call summer. Since the Sun is most noteworthy in the sky on this day, you'll notice that your shadow (at neighborhood, or sun powered, early afternoon, not clock-time early afternoon) is the briefest that it will be all year. [Local early afternoon is the point at which the Sun crosses the nearby meridian (a fanciful line between the North and South posts) and is most noteworthy in the sky for the day.]

For the individuals who live in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the most brief day of the year and imprints the appearance of winter.
