The great majority of the state uses Alaska Standard Time (AKST), UTC - 9 hours, and Alaska Daylight Saving Time (AKDT), UTC - 8 hours. The Aleutian Islands that are west of 170° west longitude use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HAST), UTC - 10 hours, and Hawaii-Aleutian Daylight Saving Time (HADT), UTC - 9 hours.

If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
Winter solstice is the longest night, summer solstice is the longest day. Opposite is equinox when night and day are exactly the same length.
The winter solstice.
The longest day and shortest night occur during the summer solstice, which typically falls on June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, the North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, resulting in the maximum amount of daylight. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, this date marks the shortest day and longest night of the year.
