Sittin’ and thinkin’: June-named for the Roman goddess Juno, patroness of mariage and the well being of women. Also from the Latin word juvenis “Young People.” There are two solstices (June the longest day of the year in the Western Hemisphere) and December. Does the solstice occur at he same time or in different times across the world? The exact same instant of time. On the solstice, is the Earth closest or fartherest from the sun? Fartherest! Surprised? It’s not the distance but Earth’s tilt that matters. With all that info, most people only care about one single solstice fact. “It’s the start of summer!” (Or winter if you live south of the equater).
