The longest day of the year, known as the summer solstice, occurs when one of the Earth's poles is tilted closest to the Sun. This results in the greatest amount of daylight in a 24-hour period, typically around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere. Many cultures celebrate this day as it marks the beginning of summer and is often associated with various festivals and rituals honoring the Sun. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, this day corresponds to the winter solstice, which has the shortest amount of daylight.
