A solstice is an event that occurs twice a year, when the Sun's apparent path reaches its farthest point north or south of Earth's Equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the winter solstice occurs on June 20 or 21, and the summer solstice on December 21 or 22. The opposite happens in the Northern Hemisphere, where the seasons are reversed. During the winter solstice, the day is the shortest of the year, while during the summer solstice, it is the longest.

The Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5° north latitude, marks the northernmost point where the Sun is directly overhead during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Similarly, the Tropic of Capricorn, at approximately 23.5° south latitude, marks the southernmost point where the Sun is directly overhead during the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.
