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. There is also a village of native Americans, Metlakatla, Alaska, in one of the southern parts of Alaska adjacent to British Columbia that stay on Metlakatla Time (MeST), UTC - 8 hours, all year.
In Alaska, the longest day occurs on or around June 21st, known as the summer solstice, when the sun is up for about 22 hours. Conversely, the longest night happens on or around December 21st, known as the winter solstice, when the sun may be up for only a few hours in some parts of Alaska.
Alaska has the longest term of daylight in the U.S. for 82 days in A SUMMER.Only once did this happen, it DOES NOT happen every summer.Same thing for the winter time record for world's longest night in the U.S. set at 67 days.A lot huh?
Ontonagon, Michigan has the longest daylight hours. Previously put by someone else was Marquette, Michigan, which reaches at peak 15 hours and 50 minutes of daylight. Ontonagon at its peak is 15 hours and 53 minutes making it the longest.
Alaska has the longest day of the year with almost 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice. Hawaii has the shortest day of the year with around 10 hours of daylight during the winter solstice.

The city that experiences the longest daylight hours is often considered to be Reykjavik, Iceland, particularly during the summer solstice in June. During this time, the sun barely sets, resulting in nearly 24 hours of daylight. Other locations within the Arctic Circle, such as Barrow (Utqiaġvik), Alaska, also experience extended daylight periods, but Reykjavik is the largest city with such a phenomenon.

The Summer solstice
The day with the longest daylight hours in the year is the summer solstice, which typically occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. On this day, the sun reaches its highest position in the sky, resulting in the longest period of daylight.
June has the most hours of sunlight, December has the least, in the US.
Alaska is in the Alaska Time Zone (AKST), which is 4 hours behind Eastern Standard Time (EST). Therefore, if it is 10 AM in Alaska, it would be 2 PM on the East Coast. However, during Daylight Saving Time, Alaska observes Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT), which is 3 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), making it 1 PM on the East Coast.
Increases from 12 hours at the equator to 24 hours at the Artic Circle.
In the Northern hemisphere - the longest day is June 20th - except when it's a leap year, when it falls on the 21st.
July-June has the longest day of the year,but it has only 30 days. So I would say July has the most hours of daylight.
Alaska, specifically locations north of the Arctic Circle, experience the longest summer days in the USA due to the midnight sun phenomenon. In cities like Barrow or Utqiaġvik, the sun does not set for several weeks during the summer solstice, resulting in extended daylight hours.
