When does the Summer solstice ocurr in the northen hemisphere?

Why the solstice is usually on a different day each year?

The solstice occurs when the Earth's axial tilt is most inclined towards or away from the Sun, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year. The timing of the solstice can vary slightly each year due to the Earth's elliptical orbit and the fact that a year is not precisely 365 days; it's about 365.24 days. This discrepancy causes the solstice to shift by a day or two over time. Additionally, leap years further contribute to the variation in the solstice's timing.
