While the northern hemisphere gets more light and heat from the Sun owing to the earth's axis’ maximum inclination towards the Sun on June 21, the southern hemisphere has completely the opposite experience.ĭuring the solstice, the Earth’s axis is tilted in a way that the North Pole is tipped towards the sun and the South Pole is away from it. The rest of the year, the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. This means people living in the Northern Hemisphere experience summer during this time, the Indian Express reported. The Northern Hemisphere gets more direct sunlight between March and September over the course of a day as the Earth rotates on its axis. This will happen around 9:02 am today (Indian Standard Time). The other names of Summer Solstice are Estival solstice or midsummer. This intriguing event usually occurs between June 20 to June 22, every year, depending upon when the Sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer at noon.
