Detailed explanation-1: -Earth rotates around its axis. In June, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the sun’s rays hit it for a greater part of the day than in winter. This means it gets more hours of daylight. In December, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, with fewer hours of daylight.
Detailed explanation-2: -The two solstices happen in June (20 or 21) and December (21 or 22). These are the days when the Sun’s path in the sky is the farthest north or south from the Equator. A hemisphere’s winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and its summer solstice the year’s longest.
Detailed explanation-3: -The June solstice is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The December solstice is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer solstice in the Southern. The Science of Solstices Earth’s latitudes experience the solstices in different ways.
