When does the longest day happen?

Answer 1

Yes and no, in the Northern Hemisphere June 21st is the longest day of the year but June 21st is also the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

In the northern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight hours because the northern hemisphere is tilted to its maximum towards the sun. For simplicity we usually refer to the 21st of June as being the longest day, but sometimes it can actually be on the 20th of June or on the 22nd of June.

For simplicity:

For the northern hemisphere = Yes

For the southern hemisphere = No

Answer 2

The longest day of the year, also known as the summer solstice, occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. It is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight for that hemisphere.

Answer 3
