Summer solstice starts astronomical summer
Today marks the summer solstice in the kingdom, as the sun reaches its northernmost point in the sky at 11:23 AM Jordan time, providing the longest day of the year, lasting approximately 14 hours and 14 minutes. The solstice astronomically defines the summer season and is characterized by a short shadow and the sun's high position in the sky. The phenomenon's occurrence is primarily due to Earth's axial tilt of 23.5 degrees. Historically, the summer solstice has been associated with agricultural seasons and festivities, during which astronomical observations are conducted to record sunrise and sunset times.
