Is the summer solstice a solar term in China or a global solar term?
Summer solstice is one of the 24 solar terms, which occurs on June 2 1 or 22 of the Gregorian calendar every year. On the day of the summer solstice, the sun moves to 90 degrees of the yellow meridian (in Gemini), and the position of the sun directly on the ground reaches the northernmost point of the year, almost directly on the tropic of cancer. At this time, the sunshine time is the longest in the northern hemisphere. In Beijing, the daytime can be as long as 15 hours. On this day, the northern hemisphere gets the most sunshine, almost twice as much as the southern hemisphere.
Astronomical experts say that the solstice in summer is the turning point of the sun. After this day, it will go back and start moving south directly. After the summer solstice, the daytime time in the northern hemisphere decreases day by day. At the same time, after the arrival of the summer solstice, the stars in the night sky gradually became summer stars.
