longer day and shorter night. On June 21st, the sun is overhead at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N latitude), which marks the summer solstic in the Northern Hemisphere. As a result, places in the Northern Hemisphere experience:
Longer days (more daylight hours)
Shorter nights (fewer darkness hours)
This is because the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, causing the sun to appear higher in the sky and remain visible for a longer period
