Solargroupies Solstice Celebration Means Free Shipping For You!

For those of us who were falling asleep in our boring earth science classes, the following diagram will assist you in understanding the spatial reason behind the longest day of the year.

Sunday June 21 marks the summer solstice, the longest day and shortest night of this year in the northern hemisphere. The sun appears over the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and highest on the horizon for those of us north of the equator. It is a great time of celebration of light of the riches of spring, the official beginning of summer and a turning point to begin slightly shorter days, knowing that autumn will eventually follow. Now is the time to take advantage of the sun, warmer temperatures and high energy the sun gives every living thing.

The sun is the source of ALL of the Earth's energy, since it has fueled the photosynthesis of ALL green, plants, who in turn provide food for animals, in the food pyramid. The Sun's energy is then stored in fossil fuels as they decay for hundreds of millions of years. The Sun also drives weather and climate that make it possible for us to exist, since it is part of the reason we have a human-friendly atmosphere. To sum it up, the Sun is behind the existence of ALL life on Earth. Therefore summer solstice is a logical day to celebrate the Sun.
