∙ 9y agoIn the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year is 21st June and the shortest day is 22nd December.
The exact date can vary by a day or so.
The same dates apply in the southern hemisphere, but with longest and shortest reversed.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year; the winter solstice is the shortest. In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice is generally June 21, and the winter solstice is December 21. (Reverse these for the southern hemisphere.)
These dates can vary by a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years; check the "Earth's Seasons" page at the US Naval Observatory website, linked below.

Is the days shorter and nights get longer?
In the northern hemisphere, USA and UK included, during Spring the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, Australia, and South Africa included , during the same period the days become shorter and the nights become longer. Depending on which side of the Equator you are on , the seasons and daylight hours are reversed. During Autumn (Fall)(northern hemisphere), the whole process is reversed in both hemispheres.
How does the tilt of the earth affects the seasons and daylight length?
Our days are longer and our nights are shorter (more of the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to the light of the Sun for a longer period of time, creating the long days and shorter nights)
What night I longer winter or summer?
The summer nights are shorter while the winter nights are longer.
What kind of depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain brought on by shorter days and longer nights?

Why do the seasons spring and autumn have similar length days?
It has to be. If you're moving from longer days and shorter nights over to shorter days and longer nights (or the other way around), there has to be one day where they are equal. It's just mathematical truth.
What happens to the length of days and nights in winter?

Seasonal Affective Disorder
Why are day's longer in the summer?
Ther sun spends more time in the northern hemisphere, thus longer days and shorter nights. This is reversed when the sun spends more time in the southern hemisphere. At the equinox days, the sun spends time at the equator and the days and nights are equal.
Why do people in the northern hemisphere experience longer days and shorter nights in June?
At that time of year, the northern hemisphere is angled toward the the sun so it gets more light and longer days.
Why do the seasons spring and autumn have similar length days?
