Because - the Earth is closest to the Sun - and it's also the longest day.
In the southern hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs around December 21st, when the direct sunlight is focused on the Tropic of Capricorn. This results in the longest day of the year for countries in that hemisphere, as the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. Conversely, this marks the winter solstice for the northern hemisphere, where sunlight is less direct.
summer solstice and winter solstice
It ranges from 6 months at the pole to several months in the polar circle.
The summer northern solstice.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. In 2015 it happens on June 21st.
Because - it's the longest day of the year.
it is summer because in summer it is hot

summer solstice
The tilt of Earth's axis, approximately 23.5 degrees, causes one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during its summer solstice while the opposite hemisphere experiences winter solstice. During the summer solstice, the tilted hemisphere is angled towards the Sun, resulting in longer days and concentrated solar energy, leading to warmer temperatures. Conversely, during the winter solstice, the same hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, causing shorter days and more diffuse sunlight, resulting in cooler temperatures. This axial tilt is the primary reason for seasonal variations in sunlight distribution across the Earth.
False. During the summer solstice, a location will have its longest day and most direct sunlight. This occurs when the Earth's axial tilt is angled towards the Sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight of the year.
It is called solstice. It is summer solstice in the hemisphere where the area is at its maximum, and winder solstice in the other.
I think about 8-9 hours
It depends on what part of Texas and how long after summer solstice. Could be a very few seconds to over a couple of hours.
The farther you get from the equator and the closer you get to the poles, the more sunlight you rotate through around the summer solstice and the more darkness you rotate through around the winter solstice. For example, New York City has about 15 hours of sunlight on the summer solstice and about 9 hours on the winter solstice. Jacksonville has about 14 hours of sunlight on the summer solstice and about 10 hours on the winter solstice.
The areas of sunlight in the two hemispheres change throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During the summer solstice, one hemisphere receives more direct sunlight and experiences longer days, while the other hemisphere receives less direct sunlight and has shorter days. This pattern reverses during the winter solstice.
The southern hemisphere experiences the most direct sunlight during the December solstice, also known as the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. This is when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures in the southern hemisphere.
