It only does this if you live north of the equator. South of the equator, it is the shortest day. Thre reason is that the Earth's north pole is more or less pointed towards the Sun on June 21st.

∙ 13y agoBecause of the Earths 23.5 tilt. When the Northern Hemisphere has summer the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun (might want to start drawing a picture with one side of the earth lit and the other not lit and the imaginary line (axis)) and the north pole is in the daylight zone and when the earth rotates (24 hours) it never leaves that zone. Hope this helped!

How many hours of darkness does the south pole have on june21?
Zero hours of sunlight. The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from the South Pole. Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

The farther northyou are, the longer the sun is up in your sky.At the north pole, the sun is above the horizon, going around and around the sky,constantly and continuously, for 6 months, from March 21 until September 21.And June 21 is right in the middle.
