Origin of Solstice

“Solstice” originates from sol (sun) and stadium (winter) (still or stopped). Due to Earth’s tilted axis, the Sun rises and sets positions to migrate northward or southward as Earth orbits the Sun. Throughout the year, the Sun’s path rises or falls. The June solstice is notable because the Sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky at this time.

The Sun reverses direction after the solstice. This refers to the Sun’s apparent course when seen at the same time each day, such as noon. An analemma is its journey over a year. The Sun isn’t moving (unless you include its orbit around the Milky Way galaxy); rather, this movement in the sky is produced by the tilt of Earth’s axis as it circles the Sun and Earth’s elliptical, not circular, orbit.

Summer Solstice 2022 has the most daylight. At the solstice, the Sun’s rays reach Earth at a more direct angle, generating summer’s efficient warming. Because the Sun is at its highest on this day, your shadow (at solar noon, not clock-time noon) will be the smallest all year. At noon, the Sun crosses the local meridian, the highest in the sky. When winter begins, this is the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.
