One of four seasons, summer has the longest days of the year.

Summer comes after spring and before fall.

The Summer Solstice happens around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, where the United States is located.

You'll find the Summer Solstice happening in the Southern Hemisphere around December 21. Australia has summer around Christmas.

The south and north are opposites. Summer in the south means winter in the north.

Summer Solstice is the opposite of Winter Solstice when you experience the shortest day of the year. That means solstices happen twice a year.

While Summer Solstice marks the beginning of warmer weather, the warmest weather typically takes a few weeks because of the water on the earth.

The Earth wobbles when it spins, meaning that the Summer Solstice falls on varying times every year.

The south actually gets more sun in the summer than the Northern Hemisphere.
