2022 SUMMER

夏至已至,

来了解一下夏至小知识吧!

When is Summer Solstice?

 什么时候是夏至?

In the northern hemisphere, it is around June 20 or 21, that we experience the longest day of the year. This is known as the summer solstice or, alternatively, June solstice.

在北半球,夏至大约在6月20日或21日,在这一天我们经历一年中白昼最长的一天。因此这一天被称为夏至。

Consequently, when the northern part of the Earth is tilted towards the sun, days in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth get longer. The temperature is warmer. And we see that summer has set in for that half of the planet. Moreover, the day of the solstice is known to represent the start of the summer for the hemisphere which faces the sun.

因此,当地球的北部向太阳倾斜时,地球北半球的白天就会变长。天气变得更暖和。而我们看到,地球的那一半已经进入了夏天。此外,众所周知,夏至这一天代表着面向太阳的半球的夏季的开始。

Interestingly, it has been observed that the sun appears to stand still in the sky for a few days before and after the solstice.

有趣的是,据观察,在夏至前后的几天里,太阳似乎静止在天空中。

What does “Solstice” mean?

“夏至”是什么意思?

In fact, the word solstice is derived from two Latin words: “sol” meaning sun, and “sistere” to cause to stand still.

事实上,"夏至 "一词是由两个拉丁语单词演变而来。"sol "意为太阳,"sistere "意为导致静止。

Depending on the shift of the calendar, the summer solstice occurs some time between June 20 and June 22 in the northern hemisphere and between December 20 and December 23 each year in the southern hemisphere.

根据日历的转变,夏至往往在北半球每年6月20日至6月22日之间的某个时间,南半球则是每年12月20日至12月23日之间。

Six months later, when the Earth has revolved half-way around the sun, the North Pole is tilted as far away from the sun as it ever gets. Days are shorter and the temperature is cooler. We see that winter slowly sets in.

6个月后,当地球围绕太阳旋转了一半时,北极就会像以往一样远离太阳。白昼更短,温度更低。我们看到,冬天慢慢来临了。
