Summary
This Sunday marks the summer solstice—the longest day of the year when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky before beginning its slow descent. Caused by Earth’s tilted axis, this ancient celestial event has inspired monuments, festivals, and rituals across cultures for millennia. Though the word “solstice” means “sun stands still” (it’s just pausing its upward climb), meteorologists start summer on June 1st, not June 21st, based on temperature patterns.
