Fun Facts About Summer

Summer is full of sunshine, outdoor adventures, and amazing things happening in nature. Here are a few fun facts to enjoy while you color!

• The first day of summer is called the summer solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, it usually falls on June 20 or 21 and is the day with the most hours of daylight each year.
• Earth isn't closer to the Sun during summer. Summer happens because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, allowing it to receive more direct sunlight for longer periods each day.
• Watermelons are about 92% water, making them one of the most refreshing fruits to enjoy on a hot summer day.
• Butterflies taste with their feet! When they land on flowers, they can "taste" them to see if they're a good place to find nectar or lay eggs.
• Many beaches are made mostly of tiny pieces of rock, shells, and coral that have been broken down by waves over thousands of years.
• Some sunflowers can grow taller than 10 feet (3 meters). Their large yellow blooms are one of the most recognizable signs of summer.
• Ice cream has been a favorite summer treat for hundreds of years. Today, people enjoy it in countless flavors around the world.
• Long summer days give many plants extra time to grow. Combined with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, this helps gardens, flowers, and crops flourish during the season.
