At the moment of the northern summer solstice, around June 21 each year, the northern tip of earth's axis is pointing as much toward the sun as possible. This is the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, and this is also the time of year when the earth is farther from the sun. That farthest point, aphelion, is reached by earth a few days after the solstice. Picture the earth orbiting the sun, and picture earth's tilt as it moves through its orbit. Imagine two different planes. One plane is the earth's orbital plane, also called the 'ecliptic'. This plane contains the entire orbit of the earth. The other plane is the unique plane containing earth's axis and the center of the sun. At the moment of either solstice, the two planes are perpendicular to one another; along the line where they meet, they form a 90 degree angle. These are the only times when these particular planes are perpendicular.
In December, January, February and March. This is also the time when the Earth is closest to the sun in the northern hemisphere.
_____________________________
Winter begins at the winter solstice, and ends at the Vernal Equinox. In the northern hemisphere, these dates are December 21 and March 21, although they can vary a day earlier or later depending on the cycle of leap years.
during the northern summer, the sun gradually moves further north until it is directly above the tropic of cancer on 22 june. At this point it begins its return journey back to the tropic of capricorn.
The sun typically reaches the northern Summer solstice around June 21. No date can
be given that's correct every year, because 1). The year is not an exact number of
days long, making it necessary for us to jimmy with the calendar every four years, and
2). At every moment, there are two calendar dates in progress on the Earth, so the
moment of the solstice occurs on two different dates.
Summer begins in June, either the 21 or 22th.
December to February. Hope I could help. Bye!
In the months of June, July, and August.
That's why it gets hot in summer.
The Summer Solstice in the northern Hemisphere, where the sun is highest declination.
The Summer Solstice when the sun is at its highest point in declination.
Within a day either way of June 21.
Summer anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere begins in June.
In the Northern hemisphere, the summer solstice (first day of summer) for 2009 is on June 21st.
In the northern hemisphere it can be considered to be the end of summer and start of autumn, while in the southern hemisphere it can be considered to be the end of winter and start of spring.
It all depends on where you live in the world. If you live in the northern hemisphere, the start of the year (January) is in winter. If you live in the southern hemisphere it is summer.
It depends on which hemisphere you live. In the northern hemisphere spring starts on March 20/21 and September 22/23 in the southern hemisphere. Some countries also designate a given date for the official start of spring. No. Spring starts around Feb 11th and ends April 30th with the solstice marking mid season. Summer starts 1st May and ends August 10th with the solstice again marking mid season. If people really think Spring starts on March 21st etc and mid Summer's day is 21st/22nd June when does Summer start? It cannot possibly start on mid summer's day can it? Starting halfway through is illogical.
Summer begins in June, either the 21 or 22th.
Summer anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere begins in June.
The start of summer is in the summer solstice. June 21 for the Northern hemisphere December 21 for the Southern.

In the northern hemisphere it can be considered to be the end of summer and start of autumn, while in the southern hemisphere it can be considered to be the end of winter and start of spring.
The same time Summer begins and ends in the rest of the northern hemisphere. June 20th to September 21st.
Answer: Spring starts in March the Northern Hemisphere and September in theSouthern Hemisphere. The US is no different from any other country in the Nothern Hemisphere.
Assuming you live more than 23.5 degrees from the equator, at the start of summer. In the northern hemisphere, that would be in June.
The northern hemisphere leans away from the sun the most on "Winter solstice", around December 21. This is the official start of Winter in the northern hemisphere, although the earth is slightly closer to the sun than it is in the Summer.
