Mexico.- This Sunday, June 20, the summer solstice is expected to arrive in the northern hemisphere, when the Sun will ‘stop’. You know why?
At 9:32 p.m. that night the summer solstice will occur, and it will be the longest day and shortest night of the year, according to the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
“The summer solstice has to do with certain positions in the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Since the orbits are elliptical, there are points where it is farther or closer to the Sun,” explained Daniel Flores Gutiérrez, a researcher at the Unam’s Institute of Astronomy.

Therefore, when looking from Earth, it seems that the Sun does not change position for several weeks. “That is why it is said solstice, which means ‘Sun stopped or stopped,'” the expert said.
Each year, the summer solstice can occur between June 20 and June 23, depending on the proximity of the leap year. It is the longest day of the year, with more light and a short night. In this 2021, it will happen on Sunday at 21:32 hours by the transfer of the Earth around the Sun, which occurs in 365 days and a fraction according to the rotation of the Earth.
