Re: 21 December
I thought June 21st was classed as the longest day, (even though they all have 24hours).December 21st or there abouts is the shortest day.

Re: 21 December
It's the shortest day, in terms of daylight hours, being the day when the sun is at its furthest point away from the Northern hemisphere of the Earth. After today we start tilting, ever so slowly, back the other way so daylight gets a tiny bit longer every day and I, for one, can't wait to get back to long, light evenings.
