What does it mean to wake up at 7 am?
It doesn't mean anything. I'm not sure what kind of answer you're expecting here. Waking up at 7 AM means that you were asleep for some undetermined amount of time, and then something caused you to wake from sleep at 7 hours after midnight.
There is no more meaning to the act of waking up at 7 AM than the literal meaning of the words. It's like asking, "What does it mean to sit down on the toilet?" or "What does it mean to light a match?" or "What does it mean to wipe your nose?"
Summer happens because Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun during this time of year, causing the sun's rays to hit the Northern Hemisphere more directly, resulting in longer days and higher temperatures. This tilt causes the summer solstice, the day with the most daylight of the year, typically occurring around June 21st.
