June Solstice 2020 from a science perspective!
The longest day of the year is called June solstice! It takes place from 21st to 22nd June. It is a time to celebrate summers on the northern side of the world while in the southern part, it is the beginning of winters.
All the countries or places lying in the northern zone will experience days longer than 12 hours with the beginning of the summer season. Meanwhile, the ones located in the south will witness vice-versa. During this time the north side would see early dawn and late sunsets.
There are two types of solstice which take place every year. One is the summer one and the other is the winter. The summer solstice exhibits the northern pole coming closer to the Sun while the winter solstice which is held on December 21 shows how one pole of the Earth moves further away from the Sun. Thus, the latter is called the shortest day of the year and the longest night.
It tells about the time how the people in the yesteryears understood the sky and its mechanism with the Sun.
Have you ever wondered that despite being the longest day in India during summers, it’s the month of July and August which are the hottest! Such a time is called the lag in seasons. When a season takes some time to come in its complete form.
This whole phenomena in a spiritual context means accepting the change for good and adjusting with it.
