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:

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
