    What is a solstice?

    астрономиясолнцесолнцестояние

    Twice a year the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky (the summer solstice, the longest day) or its lowest (the winter solstice, the shortest day). The cause is the tilt of the Earth's axis. For thousands of years these days have been anchor points of calendars and festivals across cultures.
