Oh, they’re having their shortest day. Sorry, friends in Sydney and Buenos Aires. While we’re soaking up rays, you’re bundling up for winter. The solstice is a global balancing act.
But hey, you’ll get your turn on December 21st. That’s your longest day. So don’t be jealous. Just plan your own party then. The Earth loves equality.
One last weird fact
The sun isn’t actually “standing still.” It just looks that way from Earth. It’s all perspective. Like when you’re on a train and the other train seems to move. It’s all a trick.
Also, the solstice time in 2026 is 2:42 AM UTC. That’s really late for a party. But for early birds in New York, it’s 10:42 PM on June 20th. Confused? Good. That’s the fun of time zones.
