There are two types of solstices that occur each year: the summer solstice and the winter solstice. The summer solstice, occurring around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, marks the longest day of the year, while the winter solstice, around December 21, is the shortest day of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, these events are reversed, with the summer solstice in December and the winter solstice in June. Both solstices are significant in many cultures, often celebrated with festivals and rituals.
