Akola: “In 365 days of the year, there are not only dates a few days, but they come out as a wonderful confluence of scientific secrets, natural balance and astronomical events. One of them is today 21 June. This day is not just a date recorded in the calendar, but there is an opportunity to understand the deep relationship between earth and sun. Is. The time from sunrise to sunset will be spread for about 13 hours 19 minutes, that is, the day will not take the name of stopping.
In contrast, the night will remain only 10 hours 41 minutes. This astronomical situation is called in the world of science, “Summer Solstice”. This is the moment when the sun is directly on the Tropic of Cancer, and the northern hemisphere of the earth gets the most light. This amazing balance of nature not only shapes the weather, but also shows how deep and systematic the laws of the Earth and the universe are. Today is only a festival of light, but also an invitation to connect with science, understand nature and see once again towards the sky.
Astronomers Prabhakar Dod said that every year on June 21, the sun falls directly on the Tropic of Cancer. This is the period when sunlight falls the most and straight on the northern hemisphere. From this day itself, the Sun enters Dakshinayan, that is, now its rays will slowly start slipping towards the south. The effect of this astronomical change is from the length of day and night Season It falls on.
The Earth rotates on its axis at a tilt of 23.5 degrees. The same inclination determines the length of day and night. When the northern part of the earth is tilted towards the sun, there is more light and this is the reason why the summer and long days live in the northern hemisphere from March to September. On 21 June, this inclination is at its peak, which leads to the biggest day and the youngest in countries like India. In contrast, on December 22, the Sun is on the line of Capricorn, and then the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere.
According to astronomers, the length of the day in different parts of the world varies on the day of this solstice. It is a full six months day at the North Pole and today is the medieval period of this long day. At the same time, the day in the areas around the Tropic of Cancer extends for about 13 hours 30 minutes. If you talk about the equatorial line, then there are equal day and night, ie 12-12 hours. But countries like India, which are located near the Tropic of Cancer, are about 13 hours 19 minutes long today, while the night remains only 10 hours 41 minutes. Understanding and experienceing this astronomical change makes us aware of how the Earth’s inclination and its speed has a profound impact on our everyday life.

Today is not only special for the presence of the sun, but the night sky is also going to be extraordinary. According to Prabhakar Dod, due to the monsoon, the dust in the atmosphere has reduced, which will make the sky look very clear and the planets can be seen without any device. In the evening, you can see Mercury and Mars in the west direction. Venus and Saturn will be seen in the east in dawn with their glow. Such coincidences are extremely exciting and viewing for astronomers.
Prabhakar Dod believes that this day should not be seen as a normal date, it should be associated with astronomy and environmental consciousness. He said, “When we know how the Earth revolves around the Sun, how its inclination decides our day and night. So we are able to connect with nature even more deeply.” Experts believe that children and youth believe that it is necessary to inform children and youth about such astronomical events, so that they can learn science not only from books, sky and life. June 21 gives us or gives us that every law of nature, every event, part of a big science.
The growth of the day is not just a question of time, it is a proof of the relationship between the earth, the sun and the universe. Today is not just to salute the sun, but to see the sky and understand science. So this evening, definitely look at the sky once, perhaps a planet is smiling secretly!
