None. Generally, every day is 24 hours. Since this is under trivia, I'm guessing this is one of those trick questions.

On or around June 21 each year, the rays of the sun will be perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer at 23°30' North latitude. This day is the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
On this day, the earth's "circle of illumination" will be from the Arctic Circle on the far side of the earth (in relation to the sun) to the Antarctic Circle on the near side of the earth. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, there's 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and areas north of 66°30' N, and there's 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole and areas south of 66°30' S.
June 20-21 is start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere but simultaneously the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. It's also the longest day of sunlight for places in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day for cities south of the equator.
However, June 20-21 is not the day when the sun rises earliest in the morning nor when it sets latest at night. As we'll see - the date of earliest sunrise or sunset varies from location to location.

All the above answers are only half right. It depends on which part of the world you live in.
The longest day in USA is June 21.
The longest day here in Australia is December 21.

Is this a trick question? All days are 24 hours.
ok- All joking aside: The day with the most daylight in the northern hemisphere is the day of the summer solstice. June 21.

If your a kid...Christmas Eve, seems like Christmas is never gonna come...
If your an adult...
Day light savings time ends on Oct 29th which is "fall back" (gain an hour day) Not even all the states in the US adhere to the time change though.
If you live in Alaska I think it's "day" for about the equivalent of 6 months
If your a parent it is your child's birthday...especially if your throwing a party with 10-20 miniature guests...
