Question

What is the longest day of the Year? And Why?

Answer 1

It's actually two, depending on what hemisphere you're on. That's the summer solstice, or the 1st day of summer. What I like 2 do on that day is go on a long bike ride around town or on the bike path & take in all the daylight.

Answer 2

no definite day,but definitely in the summer when the certain part of the earth is closest to the sun,which is called the summer solstice. hope i helped! =D

Answer 3

If you're talking daylight hours its the 21 June.

Answer 4

Today! cause you ask that question and I don't have a clue?

Answer 5

On or around June 21 each year, the rays of the sun will be perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer at 23°30' North latitude. This day is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. Why? Because:

On this day, the earth's "circle of illumination" will be from the Arctic Circle on the far side of the earth (in relation to the sun) to the Antarctic Circle on the near side of the earth. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, there's 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and areas north of 66°30' N, and there's 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole and areas south of 66°30' S.

Answer 6

There is no such thing as the longest day all days are 24 hours, with the exception of DST when we set our clocks back an hour. I believe the question you are asking is what is the day with the most daylight. The answer to this question is June 21 better known as Summer Solstice. The reason this day has the most daylight is on that day, the earth is closest to the sun for the year.

Answer 7

They are all the same, 24 hours.
