Explanation

The Summer Solstice occurs around June 20-22 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 20-22 in the Southern Hemisphere. It's the longest day of the year because the hemisphere tilted toward the Sun experiences maximum daylight hours: up to 24 hours in the Arctic/Antarctic Circles. The solstice happens when one pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the Sun.
