Misconceptions about the summer solstice are common. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the summer solstice is that it is related to the Earth's distance from the sun. But the Earth rotates around the sun in an almost circular orbit, so the distance between sun and Earth doesn't change very much. This year the Earth was closest to the sun Jan. 3rd and will be farthest away July 4. [Source: ABC News]
