The length of a summer day in Europe versus New Zealand depends on the exact location you are referring to.
The midpoints of these two places are:
- 41.4° S, 172.2° E for New Zealand
- 53.0° N, 9.0° E for Europe
Comparing these two latitudes, you can see that Europe is closer to the north pole than New Zealand is to the south pole. As a result, Europe (at this midpoint location) will experience longer summer days than New Zealand (at this midpoint location).
Comparing the latitudes northernmost and southernmost locations of these places, it can be seen that, in general, the summer day length in Europe will be longer than in New Zealand:
- Punta de Tarifa, Spain (36.0° N, 5.6° W) is the southernmost point of mainland Europe.
- Nuorgam, Finland (70.1° N, 27.9° E) is one of the northernmost cities in Europe.
- Nugent Island, New Zealand (29.2° S, 177.9° W) is the northernmost place in New Zealand.
- Jacquemart Island, New Zealand (52.6° S, 169.1° E) is the southernmost place in New Zealand.
However, it should also be noted that there are also places within New Zealand that will have the same summer day length - or a longer summer day length - as some places in Europe. For example:
- In Athens, Greece, the longest day is 14 hours and 48 minutes long.
- In Madrid, Spain, the longest day is 15 hours and 9 minutes long.
- In Auckland, New Zealand, the longest day is 14 hours and 40 minutes long.
- In Wellington, New Zealand, the longest day is 15 hours and 9 minutes long.
