Today marks the first day of summer and summer solstice. “Solstice” comes from the Latin solsitium, or “sun stands still.” The sun stands still on the solstice because it has reached the highest point in the sky. This happens because the Earth is tilted as far as it goes towards the sun.

At a glance this means:

Summer officially kicks off early Thursday morning with the summer solstice.

At solar noon Thursday, the sun will be directly over the Tropic of Cancer.

As a result, it will be the longest day of the year in regards to the amount of daylight.

What are your plans for the longest day of the year?
