So December 21, the winter solstice, is the shortest day of the year for the Northern Hemisphere. That makes the winter solstice a day that encourages optimism because after it, the days only get longer. But how many seconds or minutes do they increase each day? I am sure this depends on what latitude the length is measured from. My guess is that the days increase more slowly at first because of the earth's elliptical orbit, but I am not sure. Is there a chart or equation with which to measure?
