a day.
These are the equinoxes; as the name implies this is where the day and night times are around the same length. They occur in March and October.
The hour
The longest night of the year is called the Winter Solstice.However, it is worth noting that at latitudes of higher than 66.5 degrees north or south that there may be more than one day of 24-hour darkness in a year, meaning that the night of the Winter Solstice may not be the longest night of the year, just one of the longest nights of the year. Conversely, on the equator, all days and nights are exactly 12 hours each, so technically, there is no longest night on the equator.
The Earth spins at a hair under 15 degrees per hour, west to east. The stars don't move, but WE do. When you sit out on your porch on a summer night and watch the stars, they appear to move at 15 degrees per hour east to west. The Moon is also moving west-to-east, at about 0.5 degrees per hour. That's too slow for you to actually NOTICE the movement from hour to hour, but that's 12 degrees per night, which IS enough to notice. If you look at the Moon tonight and note the locations of the nearby stars, then tomorrow night you'll see that the Moon is about 12 degrees east of the previous night's position. Each night, the Moon rises about 45 minutes LATER than the evening before.

The apparent size of the moon's illuminated portion is constantly shrinking during the two weeks after Full Moon, leading up to New Moon ... not only daily, but continuously, even hour by hour. This portion of the moon's cycle is called the "waning phases".
