All days are the same length ... 24 hours ... everywhere on Earth.
If you're actually talking about the longest period of daylight in the year,
then it completely depends on where on Earth you're talking about.
At the south pole:
The sun never sets from September 21 to March 21.
Between the south pole and the Antarctic Circle:
The longest period of continuous daylight is between 24 hours and six months long,
depending on how far south you are. The center of it is December 21.
Between the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn:
The longest daylight is on December 21.
Between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator:
There are two longest periods of daylight in the year. They're both on days between
September 21 and March 21, and December 21 is midway between them.
On the Equator:
There are two longest periods of daylight in the year ... on March 21 and September 21.
Between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer:

the longest
The longest day in any year is the summer solstice. In 2011, this will occur on June 21 in the Northern hemisphere and December 22 in the Southern hemisphere.
Yes. Longest day of the year in one hemisphere, and shortest day of the year in the other hemisphere. So our summer solstice on June 21 is the longest day in Europe or America, but the shortest day for the Australians.
