In which side of the world does the sun stand highest above the horizon?

This is not exactly the side of the world, but its border. At the equator, at noon, the sun rises so high that even the human shadow reaches its minimum. When the sun is low, the shadow grows very long. If we still turn to the cardinal points, then they are the same in the north and south. On our northern side, you can recall the familiar to many – the summer solstice. This is a significant day – June 21. When daylight, in other words, the day is the longest in time. Before this date, the day grows, after the solstice it begins to decrease.
