The Earth tilts on it's axis (relative to it's orbit around the sun) and that's why we have seasons, in winter the sun is low on the horizon in the northern hemisphere (we are tilted away from the sun) and about 32 deg. above the equator in summer, so it will be at the highest point all year on June 22.
