There are 365 days in a year, but these days are never the same. Sometimes the days are long and sometimes the nights are long. This cycle continues throughout the year. Meanwhile, a day also comes when the day is recorded as the longest and the night the shortest. This day is on 21st June. That is, this special day of this year is about to come. A special thing happens on this day. On June 21, the shadow of man also leaves with him. There will also be a question in the mind of many people that why this happens. We will answer these questions of yours in this news.
According to astronomers, the Sun moves from the northern hemisphere to the Tropic of Cancer crossing the middle of India . This is the reason that on this day the sun’s rays fall on the earth for a longer time. On this day the sunlight falls on the earth for about 15 to 16 hours. This is the reason why June 21 is the longest day of the year. This event is called the Summer Solstice. Summer Solstice is celebrated between 20 and 23 June. Talking about shadow disappearance, when the Sun is right above the Tropic of Cancer , then the shadow disappears for a few moments.
Solstice happens twice a year
Solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year. The longest day of the year is recorded once in the summer season when the Sun is viewed from the North or South Pole. On this day the rays of the sun remain present on the earth for a long time. At the same time, the second astronomical event occurs on 22 December. This day is the shortest day of the year and the longest night. On this day the sun’s rays stay on the earth for a short time. These are the two days of the year when there is a great difference in the duration of day and night.
