The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. It begins around June 21-22 and ends around September 22. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours. The autumnal equinox occurs about halfway through this event.

What else can I help you with?
What is the first day of the season called and when is it?
The first day of a season is called the "equinox" or the "solstice," depending on the season. The spring and autumn equinoxes occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23, while the summer and winter solstices occur around June 21-22 and December 21-22.
When is the next equinox?
There are two different types of equinoxes; the Vernal Equinox which happens on March 21 or 22. There is also a Autumnal Equinox which happens on September 21, 22 or 23.
What is the Fall equivalent to the Spring Equinox?
Spring equinox occurs around March 20 and Fall equinox occurs around September 22 for the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere these dates are opposite; the Spring equinox is around September 22 and the Fall equinox occurs around March 20.
The day that falls between the two solstices?
The day that falls between the two solstices is the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. This day marks the longest (or shortest) day of the year and is when the sun reaches its highest (or lowest) point in the sky.
Which month is summer season?
Different places have different definitions for when summer begins and ends. I go by the rule that summer begins at the moment of the summer solstice and ends at the moment of the autumnal equinox. In the northern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from June 19 to June 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from September 21 to September 24. In the southern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from December 20 to December 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from March 19 to March 22.
What are the equinox and solstice dates?
There is only two equinoxes, Autumnal equinox(fall) starts on Sept. 22 or 23, and Vernal equinox(spring) starts on March 20 or 21.
What two months does the solstice take place?
The solstice occurs in June and December. The June solstice is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, while the December solstice is the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
Does Spring start March 22-June 20?
The first day of spring, or the vernal equinox, is March 21, and it lasts until June 21, which is the first day of summer, or the summer solstice.
What is the first day of the season called and when is it?
The first day of a season is called the "equinox" or the "solstice," depending on the season. The spring and autumn equinoxes occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23, while the summer and winter solstices occur around June 21-22 and December 21-22.
This occurs when there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night?
Equinox. It happens every March 21-22 and September 22-23. ~Earth Science Ninth Edition 2000
When does the Autumn equinox occurs in which month?
Winter Solstice: December 21 (or 22) Summer Solstice: June 21 (or 22) Spring Equinox/Vernal: March 20 (or 21) Autumn/Autumnal Equinox: September 22 (or 23) The days vary depending on the year. One year is approx. 365.25 days, hence a leap year. (.25 times 4= 1, so we add an extra day every 4 years, otherwise the calender would become messed up over time) So, because of that day, the equinoxes and solstices vary.
What period is spring?
Spring typically refers to the season that follows winter and precedes summer. In the Northern Hemisphere, it generally spans from March 20 or 21 (the vernal equinox) to June 20 or 21 (the summer solstice). In the Southern Hemisphere, spring occurs from September 22 or 23 to December 21 or 22. The exact dates can vary slightly based on geographical location.
When is the next equinox?
There are two different types of equinoxes; the Vernal Equinox which happens on March 21 or 22. There is also a Autumnal Equinox which happens on September 21, 22 or 23.

The summer solstice occurs around December 21st, while the winter solstice occurs around June 21st in the southern hemisphere. The vernal equinox occurs around September 22nd, and the autumnal equinox occurs around March 20th in the southern hemisphere.
At what time will the Autumnal Equinox occur today?

What are the months in the seasons?
