  1. The day after the summer solstice--which is June 21 this year--the days start getting shorter.


  2. Tomorrow it will begin to get shorter,and it escalates from there.

  3. Shorter after today---then it reaches the midpoint on the autumnal equinox

  4. The first day of summer is the longest day of the year and the first day of winter is the shortest day of the year. After today, the days will get shorter about a min every two days until winter, then vice vera

  5. the same length

  6. After the solstice today, the amount of daylight will begin to decrease as the days proceed toward winter.  The amount of time lost per day is initially small, on the order of seconds, but as Fall approaches, the amount of lost daylight per day increases to the order of minutes, with the greatest daily loss of daylight the further northward one goes.

  7. Downhill from here

  8. The day after the Summer Solstice (tomorrow) the days begin to gradually get shorter everyday. Then they'll begin to get longer again after the shortest day of the year which is the Winter Solstice (December 21).

  9. shorter
