Solution:
Solstice is the moment when Earth is tilted as far away from or as close to the sun as it will be all year.It’s 21 June
Earth’s axis remains tilted throughout the year,So during this time of the year the Northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun.
The sun shines directly over the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere.
