It depends on the latitude and how far after the solstice you're talking. You gain an increasing amount of daylight each day after the solstice until the equinox. At that point you're still gaining daylight but not as fast.

∙ 13y agoFrom December 21 to December 22, perhaps a few seconds more, and a few seconds more after that. The length of day curve is like a sine wave; slowly up, the rapidly up, then slowly, then, by June 21, it levels off and starts falling. This is also HIGHLY dependent on your location, or at least, your latitude.
There's a website http://www.timeanddate.com/ that will show you the change in day length for any date and location.

How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
Are the number of daylight hours each day greatest by the North Pole or the equator?
There is a very minimal amount of daylight in the North Pole. By the equator, there is much more sunlight and a much more warmer climate.
How long is the longest night?
In the northern hemisphere, the longest night occurs in conjunction with the solstice around December 22. North of the Arctic Circle, the duration of the longest night is more than 24 hours. At the north pole, it's six months.
How much of the equator has daylight on June 21?
All of the equator has daylight- every day.
Does the longest day of the year occur in winter?
The longest day and the shortest night of the year occur in summer; the shortest day and the longest night occur in winter. These days are call the summer solstice and the winter solstice, respectively. So, the answer to the question is NO.
How much longer is the longest day?
The Winter Solstice has 8 hours of daylight.
What place do not have winter and summer solstice?
Places that are close to the equator do not experience much change in the amount of daylight and darkness there is throughout the year. So while the solstices are happening in those parts of the world, they do not experience any major differences. The further you get from the equator and the closer you get to the poles, the more noticeable the effect of a solstice is.
How much time is added to daylight each day after the winter solstice -?
I think it's about 2 minutes a day in Canada. Anyhow it dpens on where you are on the GLobe! How many minutes in Maine
How much daylight does Philadelphia get throughout the year?
about 12 hours a day more in summer, less in winter
In what month and what day of the year do you start to gain day light and how much time per day?
The Winter Solstice was yesterday, December 21. It marks the beginning of winter in the north. The periods of daylight are now increasing in length and will continue to do so until the Summer Solstice around June 20 or 21. At the same moment, the solstice, periods of daylight are beginning to decrease in the south; it is the beginning of summer there.As to "how much per day", that varies with the exact time of the year, and with the latitude. Better look up some online calculator for sunrise and sunset, and compare different days for your latitude.

How much longer is the shortest and longest day of the year?
The longest day of the year is June 21 or sometimes June 20, or June 22. It depends on the year. This year it will be June 21. The shortest day is 6 months later on December 21. But sometimes it occurs on December 22nd. This year it is December 21.
How many hours of darkness and daylight is there in Anchorage Alaska?
In Anchorage, Alaska, the amount of daylight and darkness varies throughout the year due to its location. During the summer solstice in June, Anchorage experiences about 19 hours of daylight and only about 5 hours of darkness. Conversely, during the winter solstice in December, Anchorage experiences about 5 hours of daylight and around 19 hours of darkness.
Describe the winter solstice?
The solstices are when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator; the point in the apparent path of the Sun at which the Sun is farthest south of the equator. Solstice happens twice a year on about June 21 and December 21.In other words, the solstice is when the tilt of the Earth's axis is in most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun's apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. This makes the winter solstice the shortest day of the year, and summer summer solstice the longest.solstices are when the it is the shortest day (December 22-25) of the year or the longest (June 21-23).Here is what the dictionary says. "1. Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest." The word solsitce is a noun.It comes from a term that literally means "sun stand", because the sun reaches its highest or lowest point of the year on the solstice (highest on the summer solstice, lowest on the winter solstice).
Is there an the example of explanation text?
Why Summer Daylight Is Longer Than Winter Daylight In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the earth. The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold and frosty morning. It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is above the horizon.
About how much longer are the days in summer than it is in winter?
Depends on how far you are from the Equator. At the Equator, there isn't much difference either way. But at the poles you can have daylight round the clock during summer, and darkness round the clock during winter. And inbetween, the result will be inbetween too.
Why does winter begin in December?
The winter solstice is the minimum in heating, but the minimum in temperature lags because of thermal capacitance of the atmosphere-ocean-land system. Climatologists usually consider (northern) winter to be December-January-February, which is three weeks ahead of the astronomical definition. That puts the middle of winter in the second week of January, which is pretty close to the time of the historically observed temperature minimum, at least in locations far from an ocean.
