So everybody is going to tell you that today is the longest day of the year.
I like to explain that that is not true at all.
Though it has the longest span of daylight, The longest solar day because of Earth's tilt and its elliptical orbit is near winter solstice.
it's nearly 30 seconds longer than most 24 hour days.
I could also argue that the longest day of the year this year will be November 4th because of daylight savings… November 4 is 25 hours long.
@Scarlett_Pereira I can honestly say, as I have said before, I'm very sapio about it all and nothing turns me on more than a brain!
Instant arousal if a woman can hold a conversation with me!😍
So yeah, I am the same way!
@Massagemichael How about if we qualify it as: Today, the Earth's Northern Hemisphere will experience sunlight for longer than any other day of the year.
@jersimon we could say that, but if you go far enough north of the Arctic Circle in the summer, you'll have a span of sunlight that runs for months because the sun never sets completely.
So that actually doesn't work. It depends on where you are.
@Massagemichael Actually... The sun does actually set in the far North (dips below the horizon) but, yes, there is an extended twilight period that serves as "night" when it does not get dark.
At the most extreme North (Arctic Circle) there is 24 hours of daylight today (summer solstice), while there is 21+ hours in Iceland, 22ish hours in northern Russia. etc. (obviously further north = longer span of sunlight).
@jersimon like I said, if you go far enough north of the Arctic Circle… I did not say Iceland I did not say Russia. But the sun does not set at all if you are far enough north. It may be on the Horizon, but parts of it still show.
@Massagemichael
I just love technical guys! 💋
