The smallest day of the year is the winter solstice, which occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on December 21 or 22. On this day, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, so the Northern Hemisphere receives the least amount of sunlight. The winter solstice is also the day with the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere.
The opposite happens in the Southern Hemisphere, where the summer solstice is the smallest day of the year. The summer solstice occurs on December 21 or 22 in the Southern Hemisphere, and it is the day with the shortest night.
The reason why the winter solstice is the smallest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere is because of the Earth's tilt. The Earth is tilted on its axis by about 23.5 degrees. This means that as the Earth orbits the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight. During the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, so it receives the least amount of sunlight.
The winter solstice is also the day with the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere because the Sun sets earlier and rises later than on any other day of the year. The amount of daylight hours on the winter solstice can vary depending on your location. For example, in New York City, the winter solstice has 9 hours and 20 minutes of daylight. In Anchorage, Alaska, the winter solstice has 5 hours and 0 minutes of daylight.
The winter solstice is a significant event in many cultures around the world. In some cultures, it is a time of celebration, while in others, it is a time of reflection. The winter solstice is also a time of astronomical significance, as it marks the beginning of the winter season.
The longest period of daylight happens at the summer solstice. The shortest day occurs at the winter solstice.
By daylight, the winter solstice.
it is maryland or baltimore(:sweet heart :)
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.
a day is 50 and a year is 50,000

The smallest day in reference of Astronomy and Geography is 23rd day of every December.
That depends on the time of year. It is usually one of the poles.
The equator sees the smallest variation in temperature from year to year and from month to month.
From largest to smallest Eon, Era, Period, Epoch. Time is also listed from largest to smallest as: millennium, century, decade, year, month, week, day.
that would be impossible to answer.. there is no official smallest parade
February
This changes evey year. Generally, the smallest club in the league will have the smallest fan base.
