Why are the days in summer long and nights short while in winter days are short and nights are long?
Assuming you're in the United States, the longest day of the year is the first day of summer. The shortest day of the year is the first day of winter. Daylight hours get progressively shorter after the first day of summer until they reach their shortest, again this being the first day of winter. Therefore, the last day of autumn is the day before the day with the shortest number of daylight hours. So to answer your question, autumn does contain some days in December with the shortest number of daylight hours in the entire year. Hope that helps.
In the northern hemisphere why do periods of daylight get longer between late December and late June?
In the northern hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes sunlight to hit the region more directly as it moves towards the summer solstice in late June. This angle of sunlight increases the length of daytime hours and results in longer periods of daylight.
When does the sun cast the longest shadows?
The sun casts the longest shadows during sunrise and sunset, when the sun is at a low angle in the sky. This phenomenon occurs because the sunlight has to travel through a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere, creating longer shadows.
What two days a year have the longest nighttime hours or daytime hours in summer or winter?
The summer solstice, around June 21, has the longest daytime hours in the year, while the winter solstice, around December 21, has the longest nighttime hours.
Why does the eatern hemispehere experience daytime while the western hemisphere experiences night?
This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, one half is facing the Sun (daytime) while the other half is facing away from the Sun (nighttime). This rotation creates cycles of day and night for different parts of the world.
Is this true in December the shortest daytime is in the southern hemisphere?
No. The southern hemisphere experiences its longest daytime hours in December. the shortest daytimes are in the northern hemisphere.
What season in southern hemisphere experience the largest daytime?

When does the duration of daytime begin to decrease?
The duration of daytime begins to decrease after the summer solstice, which is around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. This marks the point when days start getting shorter and nights longer as the Earth's axial tilt causes the sun to move lower in the sky.
During which season is daytime longer than nighttime?
The longest day in the northern hemisphere is June 21.The longest day in the southern hemisphere is December 21.Both dates are in the summer season, which is opposite the winter season in each hemisphere.
When is the sun highest in the sky and daytime is the longest?
The sun is highest in the sky and daytime is longest during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. This is when Earth's axis is tilted most towards the sun, leading to longer days and shorter nights.
what day of the year has the most daytime?
In the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth, the Summer Solstice is 21st June. This is the day with the most daylight hours. The position is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth. The Summer Solstice is the 21st December. The day with the most daylight hours. The least daylight hours are ;- Northern Hemisphere ; 21st December. Southern Hemisphere ; 21st June The two dates when day light hour and night time are equal is;- Vernal (Spring) Equinox ; 21st Match Autumnal Equinox ; 21st September. These two dates apply equally across the Earth.
Why does the eastern hemisphere experience daytime while the western hemisphere experiences night?
you are stupid idiot
Is it daytime in the southern hemisphere when it is nighttime in the northern hemisphere?
generally, no There are only a few days per year on which you can see the sun from the north pole and the south pole at the same time (due to the atmosphere bending the light like a lens). All along any line of longitude (the lines that go from pole to pole), local mean time is the same.
Why is it winter in australia when it is summer in the US?
Summer. North America is located in the northern hemisphere while Australia is located in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are exactly opposite. A simple explanation would be using the Sun's position. When it is winter in North America, the Sun is shining at a lower angle, experiencing less sunlight (daytime). As such, the Sun would naturally be shining at a higher angle in Australia, experiencing summer, with longer daytime (more sunlight).
When do the suns most direct rays strike in the western hemisphere?
During the daytime.
Where did the winter solstice start?
Winter Solstice is on December 21st. Shortest daytime of the year. The Winter Solstice of 2012 is also the date that many people believe the world will end.
If the earth stopped revolving when the northern hemisphere was pointed towards the sun would you have longer nights or days?
All you would have is a day where the Northern Hemisphere was pointed at the sun. The side opposite would be in permanent night. it would have nothing to do with Hemispheres but with which side is pointed to the sun. Alternate: If by 'pointed towards' you mean at the same angle as the current tilt, then the answer would be a little different. But the answer would depend on where you are. Or are you one of the many who assume that the northern hemisphere is the only one? If you are in the northern hemisphere, you would have longer daytime periods than night. It would be opposite in the southern hemisphere.
