You have a penfriend. He writes you about the summer solstice. The Brits usually pack this day with fun. Read the text and answer the question.

While you don't feel it, Earth is spinning. Once every 24 hours Earth turns, taking all of us with it. When we are on the side of Earth that is facing the Sun, we have daylight. As Earth continues its spin, we are moved to the side facing away from our Sun, and we have nighttime. If we were looking down on Earth from above the north pole, we would watch daylight and darkness sweeping across our globe from east to west.

The summer solstice isn’t just for Druids and Stonehenge hippies: everyone can celebrate the Earth getting up close and personal with the Sun. And a 24-hour party city like London is the perfect spot to mark the annual celestial movement, which results in the longest day out of all 365 of them.

This year the summer solstice falls on Tuesday, the 21 of June 2022. On this day the sun will rise in London at 4.43am and won’t set until 9.21pm, meaning city-dwellers will be able to bask in a whopping 16 hours, 38 minutes and 22 seconds of daylight.

Why do daylight and darkness occur on Earth?

The Earth rotates on its axis.

The Sun rotates on its axis.

The Earth’s axis is tilted.

The Earth revolves around the Sun.
