June is one of two months to have a [[solstice]] (the other is [[December]], its seasonal equivalent in both [[hemisphere]]s), and in this month the [[Tropic of Cancer]] in the [[Northern hemisphere|Northern Hemisphere]] is turned towards the [[Sun]], meaning that [[June 20]] or [[June 21]] is the Northern [[Summer Solstice]] and the Southern [[Winter Solstice]]. This means that this date would have the most daylight of any day in the [[Northern hemisphere]], and the least in the [[Southern Hemisphere]]. There are 24 hours of daylight at the [[North Pole]] and 24 hours of darkness at the [[South Pole]].
