Calculated with Astronomy Engine, an open-source library verified against the US Naval Observatory and NASA JPL. How we calculate

Northern Hemisphere

first day of astronomical summer, longest day of the year

Southern Hemisphere

first day of astronomical winter, shortest day of the year

At the June solstice the Sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky, directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. North of the Arctic Circle it does not set at all; south of the Antarctic Circle it does not rise.

The exact moment

Solstices and equinoxes are instants, not whole days: the moment is the same everywhere, only the clock time differs by time zone.
