The summer solstice (for the northern hemisphere) or Winter solstice for the Southern Hemisphere. Its around this time (give or take a couple of days) that those in the northern hemisphere experience their `longest day` or most hours of sunlight, due to the earths tilt towards the sun being at its optimum position.
That depends on your location on Earth. In the northern Hemisphere it is in December, in the Southern Hemisphere its in June. Roughly around the 21st of December and June respectively. Of course that is only looking in terms of daylight. All days are 24 hours long, except when the clocks change. When they go back, that gives an extra hour, so there are 25 hours in that day and when they go forward, there are 23 hours in that day. In some countries the clocks don't change, so again it would depend on where you are in the world.
The longest day happens on the summer solstice, June 21 in the north and December 21 in the south e.g. Australia.

At 41 degrees north latitude, you gain some length of daylight every day from December 21 until June 21, and you lose some length of daylight every day from June 21 until December 21. The number of minutes difference from one day to the next also changes. It's greatest on March 21 and on September 21, and when you get to June 21 or December 21, it's almost nothing.
