Changing seasons

August 2, 2016
The GOESEast and GOESWest satellites on Friday, June 21, 2019 simultaneously saw the slanted shadows separating day and night on Earth just minutes after the summer solstice occurred. Notice in this image how the shadow that separates day and night across Earth is highly slanted. That shadow is called the daylight terminator. As the Earth rotates on its axis, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight, or “midnight sun,” while the South Pole is obscured in darkness. The opposite occurs at each pole in December, when the Northern Hemisphere sees its shortest day and longest night of the year.
