Summer Solstice for Kids! | The Longest Day of the Year

In this video you can find out all about all about the Summer Solstice and what happens. The Summer Solstice marks the end of spring and the start of summer. At the Summer Solstice, the Sun travels its longest path through the sky, and we have our longest day, June 21st. The Arctic, being the furthest North, experiences 24-hour-daylight. The Summer Solstice is celebrated by many cultures, with many gathering at sites like Stonehenge to celebrate, as the light of the Sun lines up with the stone circle.
