The longest day of the year is June 21 or sometimes June 20, or June 22. It depends on the year. This year it will be June 21.
The shortest day is 6 months later on December 21. But sometimes it occurs on December 22nd. This year it is December 21.
It depends on your latitude. The farther you are from the equator the bigger the difference will be. Places north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle have 24 hours more daylight on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice. The length of time from sunrise to sunset along the equator never changes.
