In many (but not all) countries the clocks are moved one hour forward in spring and put back an hour in the fall. This was introduced during the Second World War and done to match working hours better with the hours of sunlight.

What date is the longest day?

In terms of the amount of daylight, in the northern hemisphere it is June 21. It is December 21 in the southern hemisphere. There are other measurements of what the longest date is. When the clocks go back, you have one hour extra in the day, so that day is 25 hours long. Not all countries do put their clocks forward and back, and of those that do, some do it on different days of the year than others and each year the date it happens changes. So for those reasons there is no defined date for the 25 hour day in a year.

How many years is 6500 days?

Using the formula of roughly 365.25 days in a year, 6500 days are roughly 17 years, 291 days. The reason for the quarter day in the division is to account for leap year. So what you do is divide it out, put the whole number aside, and then multiply back to get the remainder in days. But if you want it all in years, it is 17.796 years.
