The first official day of summer is tomorrow, June 21st. The first day of summer is also known as summer solstice, or midsummer solstice. This occurs when one of Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the Sun. It happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere.
To get you in the Summer mindset, here are a few family-friendly summer fun facts from our friends at Well Being with Alyssa:
Tug-of-war used to be a summer Olympic event.
In Alaska, there are 24 hours of sunlight during part of the summer.
The Great Pyramids in Egypt were built so that the sun sets between two pyramids on the summer solstice.
The Perseid meteor shower happens during July and August.
September has the most birthdays!
The phrase “dog days of summer” is when the constellation Sirius (that looks like a dog) appears in the sky. These are usually the hottest weeks of summer.
The full moon is lowest around the summer solstice.
