For the first couple of weeks after the Solstice, the length of day only declines by a few seconds per day. But the rate of change keeps increasing until the Equinox, around September 21, at which time the length of day is changing by 3 minutes per day.
After June 21, the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, daylight gradually decreases. In the weeks following June 21, daylight is lost at a rate of about 1-2 minutes per day, depending on the location. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.

After the winter solstice, the amount of daylight added each day gradually increases. Initially, only a few seconds are added, but as we approach the spring equinox, the days get longer more quickly. By the time of the summer solstice, the amount of daylight added each day starts to decrease again.
This phenomenon is known as the summer solstice. It occurs around June 21st each year and marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. During this time, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the North Pole to be leaning most directly towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours.
