What is the longest and shortest day in 2008?
The longest day is June 20 2008 and the shortest is December 21 2008 for the northern Hemisphere. The opposite applies for the southern Hemisphere. This is true for DAYLIGHT, however, if you live in an area that observes Daylight Savings time, the longest day would be November 2, 2008 (25 hours), and the shortest would be March 9, 2008 (23 hours.) The last paragraph is a ridicuous answer. 1. It the change between daylight time and non daylight time only causes a change in hours on the clock, the physical hours stay the same. 2. It is common knowledge that "shortest day" or "longest day" refers to daylight hours (As in day time and night time) as the hours in a day are constant. 3. The date provided are meaningless as every region that observes daylight times begins and ends the period at different times of the year. 4. The dates have no provision for the difference between the northern and southern hemisphere. The first answer is the correct response.
Why 22 December is shortest day?
Daylight hours on the winter solstice are shorter than the rest of the year because of the Earths rotational tilt. That tilt faces the northern hemisphere away from the sun. This causes the apparent position of the sun throughout the day to be the furthest south during the year and daylight hours to shorten. At the same time of the year the southern hemisphere is experiencing the exact opposite, the longest daylight hours of the year.

The longest day of the year, known as the summer solstice, occurs when one of the Earth's poles is tilted closest to the Sun.

Many cultures celebrate this day as it marks the beginning of summer and is often associated with various festivals and rituals honoring the Sun. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, this day corresponds to the winter solstice, which has the shortest amount of daylight.
