In the astronomical calendar for the Northern Hemisphere, summer is technically the longest season, spanning approximately 93.6 days. This slight variation occurs because Earth's elliptical orbit around the sun is not a perfect circle, and Earth moves slightly slower when it is farthest from the sun during the July aphelion. Consequently, the time elapsed between the June solstice and the September equinox is slightly longer than other seasonal intervals.
