Best Answer

In Judaism, days last from dusk one day until dusk the next day (Leviticus ch.23). For purposes of Sabbath and other holy days, we observe the day from sunset until after twilight the following evening (about 25 hours), in order to avoid the doubt of when dusk begins and ends.

Days and nights are measured in twelve hours each. Thus, in the summer, 1/12 of a day will be more than in winter. This has practical implications for certain observances such as prayers.
