The summer solstice is when the sun reaches its highest position in the sky and the Earth's tilt towards the sun is at its maximum.
In the Northern Hemisphere the day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year (the day with the most daylight and the shortest night).
Ancient cultures knew that the length of daylight, along with the sun’s path across the sky and the location of the sunrise and sunset all shifted in a regular way throughout the year. They built huge stone monuments, such as Stonehenge, to follow the sun’s yearly progress.
