It depends on what you mean exactly. If you are talking about it as one of the four solstice's, then you could say either it lasts three months or if you mean the day itself then you would have to say 24 hours. It is more of a astrological transition so it really doesn't "last" at all; it is just a marker of the season.

Because if the real answer is simply: Well the days usually vary from 12 hours even to 12 and a few minutes plus or minus depending on summer or winter.
Which leads you to the next question: Then is a few minutes more or less of sunlight exposure really making it 80 degrees hotter or colder?
Like if you live in Texas...do you still experience what you think is twelve hours of the sun rising and setting? Yes. No matter what time of the year every year? Yes. Ok...so you guys never have periods where the sun doesn't come up for two days in a row? Nope. Then how come you guys have 80 degree variant temperature throughout the year known as seasons?
