The summer solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun is at the most acute angle above the horizon. It usually occurs on or about June 21.
North Korea's economy is in a dire state. Analysts estimate per capita income is $1,000-$2,000 (Â£640-Â£1,280) per year. Compare that with South Korea, where per capita income is almost $20,000. That means that even at the higher end of the range, North Koreans make just 10% of what their average southern counterparts make. One estimate says it works out to about $4 a day. However, information coming out of North Korea is very unreliable and so the numbers could be much worse.
The geographic coordinates of the country are 37 00N and 127 30E. Seoul is its capital and the largest city. South Korea is the 12th developed country in the world and has highest income in Asia and tenth highest income in the world. South Koreaâs terrain is mostly mountainous with only 30% lowland out of the total land area. The climate in South Korea is temperate with more rainy summers than winters.
