When is summer solstice
What is the summer solstice?
it's a good thing it's not officially
summer yet because today does me feel
100 but timing is you know it's
everything and I guess we're gonna have
some pretty warm temperatures coming up
to greet summer we certainly are
tomorrow is the first day of summer of a
Thursday's the first full day of summer
because it cursed during the day
tomorrow and the heat will really show
up during the day on Thursday so spring
is fading away summer begins as the
spring just kind of runs out of time
5:09 Mountain time this is 709 Eastern
time so that is tomorrow just after 9
minutes after 5 p.m. we have the first
day of summer summer arriving so what
actually is happening here and so
basically what we have is the Solstice
it's comes from the Latin word which
means Sun stand still when the Sun
stands over had seemingly four days and
that's really the case what's happening
is it appears that the Sun goes from up
here to the Tropic of Cancer so what's
happening is it's as far north as the
Sun will be basically for us so that's
why we have with the earth tilted this
way we have the warmest most direct rays
of the Sun that's the Tropic of Cancer
this is the equator this is the Tropic
of Capricorn so with noon tomorrow
basically noon the first day of summer
you basically have it right over half
the tropic of cancer this is spring and
fall as the Sun makes its journey back
and forth this would be the first day of
winter with the Sun angle the lowest in
the sky furthest away from us so as the
sun's going back and forth it it goes up
it accelerates that it slows down this
is why the sunset is at 9:30 for almost
15 straight days because the Sun gets
here it slows down and it starts to come
back it's the first day of spring and
the first day of autumn that the day
length is changing rapidly but then it
slows down for that first day of winter
as well so tomorrow we've got the Sun
right there it begins here and it will
end here this will be yes a sad day if
you like summer times we're heading
towards the first day of autumn so the
summer solstice tomorrow 5:09 where will
you be hopefully you'll be watching one
