It only does this if you live north of the equator. South of the equator, it is the shortest day. Thre reason is that the Earth's north pole is more or less pointed towards the Sun on June 21st.

On June 21 why is there greater solar energy at the north pole than the equator?

On June 21, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight due to the Earth's tilt towards the Sun. This means that the North Pole receives continuous sunlight and thus greater solar energy compared to the equator, which only receives sunlight during the day.


How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?

How many hours of darkness does the south pole have on june21?

Zero hours of sunlight. The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from the South Pole. Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

The farther northyou are, the longer the sun is up in your sky.At the north pole, the sun is above the horizon, going around and around the sky,constantly and continuously, for 6 months, from March 21 until September 21.And June 21 is right in the middle.
