Solution

Answer:

The summer solstice of June 21st is considered the longest day of the year and Dec 21st is considered the shortest day of the year.

On the summer solstice, the Northern Hemisphere records the longest day, which is remains in the shy for a much longer time than it averages. When in the shy, the sun hits its highest point and the day with the greatest daylight period.

The sun sets soon during winter solstice, that is, December 21st, which is the day with the minimal sunlight in the southern hemisphere.
