Question

Where and when is the darkest day on the surface of Earth?

Answer 1

Technically, any day, since the same amount of the Earth is in darkness at any time, regardless of the tilt or season.  I suppose one could argue that it would be at the time that the least amount of brighter stars are in the night sky, but in that case I don't know what day that would be.

Answer 2

At the North Pole on the winter solstice (usually around December 21) - when the top half of the Earth is tilted away from the sun as far as it will go - OR at the South Pole on the summer solstice (on or around June 21) - when the bottom half of the Earth is tilted away from the sun as far as it will go.  Check the almanacs to figure out when the last new moon on a solstice was and you're golden.

Answer 3

If your question includes "when was the darkest day", I would say the day when there were 3 hours of darkness just prior to Jesus giving up his life on the cross outside Jerusalem.

Answer 4

in my soul.

Answer 5

North Pole or around.

Date: 21 December.
