When is the Summer Solstice in 2018?
The solar terms were summarized by ancient people through observing the patterns of each year. Each solar term has its own reason and things that should be done at that time. According to the 24 solar terms, the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the middle of summer, so May is called "midsummer" or "midsummer". The Fortune Teller website takes you to appreciate the most poisonous month, May of the lunar calendar in 2018.When is the Summer Solstice?The summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms, which falls on June 20, 21, or 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the summer solstice, the sun moves to 90 degrees of ecliptic longitude (the summer solstice point, currently in Gemini), and the position of the sun directly above the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly above the Tropic of Cancer. At this time, the daylight hours in all parts of the Northern Hemisphere reach the longest of the year. For areas on and north of the Tropic of Cancer, the summer solstice is also the day when the sun is highest at noon in the year. In Beijing, the daylight on the summer solstice can last up to 15 hours, and the sun's altitude at noon can reach 73°32′. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most solar radiation, nearly twice as much as the Southern Hemisphere.Astronomical experts say that the summer solstice is a turning point for the sun. After this day, it will go "backwards", and the point of direct sunlight will begin to move southward from the Tropic of Cancer, and the daytime in the northern hemisphere will become shorter day by day. After the summer solstice, the solar altitude angle at noon begins to decrease day by day in the Tropic of Cancer and the areas to its north. At the same time, after the summer solstice, the night sky gradually turns into a summer sky.
