The June solstice is the solstice on Earth that occurs annually between 20 and 22 June according to the Gregorian calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, the June solstice is the summer solstice (the day with the longest period of daylight), while in the Southern Hemisphere it is the winter solstice (the day with the shortest period of daylight). It is also known as the northern solstice or summer solstice. During the June solstice, the Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, located in the northern hemisphere.

Solar year

The June solstice solar year is the solar year based on the June solstice. It is thus the length of time between adjacent June solstices.

The length of the day on June solstice

The following tables contain information on the length of the day on 20 June 2016, close to the summer solstice of the Northern Hemisphere and winter solstice of the Southern Hemisphere.
