Illumination of Earth by the Sun on the day of the June solstice

The June solstice is the solstice on Earth that occurs annually between 20 and 22 June according to the Gregorian calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice is the summer solstice (the day with the longest period of daylight), while in the Southern Hemisphere it is the winter solstice (the day with the shortest period of daylight).[7] It is also known as the northern solstice or summer solstice. During the June solstice, the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, located in the northern hemisphere.

Solar year

[edit | edit source]

The June solstice solar year is the solar year based on the June solstice. It is thus the length of time between adjacent June solstices.

[edit | edit source]

The following tables contain information on the length of the day on 20 June 2016, close to the summer solstice of the Northern Hemisphere and winter solstice of the Southern Hemisphere. The data was collected from the website of the Finnish Meteorological Institute[8] as well as from certain other websites.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

The data is arranged geographically and within the tables from the longest day to the shortest one. Times that occur the next day (21 June) are marked with +.
