I think it happens on the winter solstice, day gets longer til the summer solstice, then night gets longer til winter solstice, gets shorter til summer solstice, etc.

equinox= when night and day are same length

winter solstice= when night is longest

summer solstice= when day is longest

Above is true in the Northern Hemisphere: in the Southern Hemisphere, the exact opposite solstices are markers of the length of day.

Which date day become longer than night?

The day becomes longer than the night during the spring equinox, which usually occurs around March 20th or 21st in the northern hemisphere. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator and day and night are approximately equal in length. After the spring equinox, days start becoming longer than nights as we move towards summer.


What is the reltionship between day and night and seasons?

The relationship between day and night and seasons is that the length of daylight and darkness determines the changing of seasons. In areas where days are longer than nights, it is typically warmer, indicating summer. Conversely, when nights are longer than days, it is generally colder, signifying winter. The tilt of Earth's axis also plays a significant role in the changing seasons.


Why does the length day and night change throughout the year?

The tilt of the Earth's axis, and it's elliptical orbit around the sun. We only have 24 hours in a day, so if the nights become longer, the days have to become shorter. Seriously, it's all due to the Earth orbiting the sun in an elliptical pattern and the axis tilt, which always stays on the same plane. At the winter equinox, the days begin to get longer, until the summer equinox, when the days begin to shorten again. Note that in the winter, the sun sits much lower in the sky than during the summer, at least in the northern hemisphere. It's reversed for the southern hemisphere, as are the seasons. Hard to imagine summer for December, and snow in July, but that's how it is below the equator.


What is the air temparation when days is longer than night?

The air temperature for when the day is longer than the night would vary based on your location. Typically when the day is longer, it is warm and summer time. An exception to this would be Alaska who during one time in the year has 6 weeks of sunlight, where the sun doesn't fully set because of the Earths tilt.
