The summer solstice occurs when one of Earth’s poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere (Northern and Southern). For the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice is the day with the longest period of daylight when the Sun is at its highest position in the sky. At either pole, there is continuous daylight at the time of its summer solstice.
