July 2nd.

You are safe in saying that July 2nd is the middle day of the year because: the mid-year point occurs at noon on July 2nd on non-leap years, and just as the day begins on July 2nd on leap years.

On non-leap years there are 182 days that fall before July 2nd, and 182 days that come after July 2nd. The mid-year point is therefore in the middle of the day on July 2nd.

On leap years, the mid-year point occurs at midnight between July 1st and July 2nd. At this point 183 days have passed, and there are 183 days yet to happen (including the full day of July 2nd).

The math for this is straight-forward. There are 365 days in a non-leap year, and 366 days in a leap year. Since days of the year do not start at 0, they start at 1 this is the formula you can use to calculate the mid-point:

MidYearPoint = (daysInTheYear / 2) + 1

(365 / 2) + 1 = 182.5 + 1 = 183.5 = Noon, July 2nd

(366 / 2) + 1 = 183 + 1 = 184 = Beginning of the Day, July 2nd.

*July 2nd is the 183rd day in non-leaps years, and it's the 184th day in leap years.

There is a slight flaw in the preceding, it appears to be have been overlooked that in the many countries that use "summer time" where the time has been advanced in Spring by one hour, that the actual mid point in the year is at 1300 hrs (one hour after noon) on 2nd July in a non leap year... to explain: 182 days and 12 hours (4,380 hours) have elapsed and there are 182 days and 12 hours (4,380hours) remaining. And in leap years the mid point is at 1:00 am (one hour after the start of the day) on the 2nd July when exactly 4392 hours have elapsed and there are 4392 hours remaining.

In 2014, the middle day of the year also falls on the middle day of the week (Wednesday).

Should you ask a chick out on the last day of school that year or the first day of school next year?

It's generally better to ask her out sooner rather than later, so asking on the last day of school would be preferable. This way, you can enjoy the summer break together if she says yes, and if she says no, you'll have time to move on and meet new people during the break.

What is the relationship between solstice equinoxes and seasons?

Solstice is the longest day of the year. Exuinox is the shortest day of the year. Summer is the hottest time of the year. Winter the coldest time of year. This temperature difference is a result of the diferent lengths of the day. Solstice is around the middle of summer then, just as equinox is around the middle of winter. Of course there are other things to consider - living near the equator or further away changes everything to do with seasons and even soltice/equinox. In the Southern Hemisphere seasons are all reversed too.
