June 21st is the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and for the northern hemisphere it is the longest day of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere June 21st is the winter solstice. This means it is the shortest day of the year. This happens due to the earth's 23 degree tilt.
The equator, however, is right between the hemispheres. So the days and nights are of equal length.
