Abstract "No matter where you are in the world, the same sun shines on us all. But, depending on where you are, you might get different amounts of sunlight at different times. On one special day in June the top half of Earth experiences its longest day. At the same time the bottom half of Earth experiences its shortest day. This is called a solstice."-- Page 4 of cover.
