Answer 3

Well, December 21 is always the shortest day of the year, so I'd say December is the month with the shortest days. And June 21 is the longest day of the year. So June is most likely the longest day of the month. Hope that helps!

Answer 4

It depends on where you are. North of the equator and December will have the shortest days with June being the longest.

South of the equator it will be the other way round.

The Axis of the earth tilts throughout the year. Oct - March sees the south tilted towards the sun so days are longer and close to the south pole it doesn't get totally dark at all, while in the north it is continually dark. Then the opposite will happen for April to Sept.

Answer 5

December, June.

Answer 6

Thirty days hath September is an ancient mnemonic rhyme, of which many variants are commonly used in English-speaking countries to remember the lengths of the months in the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

The rhyme has a long history. A medieval version is found in the 15th century manuscript Harley 2341, in the British Library:

Thirty days hath November,
April, June, and September:
Of twenty-eight is but one,
And all the remnant thirty-one.[1]
Modern versions differ from this in two main respects. Firstly, September and November are often reversed; secondly, leap years are taken into account in an additional couplet. As with any text that is still primarily transmitted orally, many versions exist, and only the first line is now always the same. The first four lines are usually similar, being (with syllables often omitted being bracketed)

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and [dull] November:
All the rest have thirty-one,
Except[ing] [for] February [alone],
But there is no clear preference for any of the alternative endings, such as

Which hath twenty-eight days clear,
And twenty-nine in each leap year,
or

Which has eight and a score
Until leap year gives it one day more,
or

Which hath but twenty-eight, in fine,
Till leap year make it twenty-nine.
or

Which has four and twenty-four,
And every fourth year, one day more.
Infelicitous as it may seem, it is very common to recite the first couplet followed by unrhymed, unmetrical prose:

Thirty days hath September,
April, June, and November;
All the rest have thirty-one, except February, which has twenty-eight, or twenty-nine in leap year.

The cause of the seasons is that the rotation axis of the Earth is not perpendicular to its orbital plane, but makes an angle of about 23.44°, the obliquity of the ecliptic, and that this axis keeps its orientation in inertial space. By consequence, for half a year (from around 20 March to around 22 September) the northern hemisphere tips toward the Sun, with the maximum around 21 June, while for the other half year the southern hemisphere has this honour, with the maximum around 21 December. The two instances that the Sun is overhead on the equator are the equinoxes. Also at that moment both the north pole and south pole of the Earth are just on the terminator, and therefore day and night are equally divided over the whole globe.

The table above gives the instances of equinoxes and solstices over several years. A few remarks can be made.

The actual equinox is a single moment in time — it does not take the whole day. But the crossing of the Sun over the equator is slow enough that the equinox day will have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime, and within an accuracy of a few minutes, the day before and after too.
It is 94 days from the June solstice to the September equinox, but only 89 days from the December solstice to the March equinox. The seasons are not of equal length because of the variable speed the Earth has in its orbit around the Sun.
The instances of the equinoxes are not fixed but fall about six hours later every year, amounting to one full day in four years, but then they are reset by the occurrence of a leap year. The Gregorian calendar is designed to follow the seasons as accurately as possible. It is good, but not perfect. Also see: Gregorian calendar#calendar seasonal error.
Smaller irregularities in the times are caused by perturbations of the Moon and the other planets.
Currently the most common equinox and solstice dates are 20 March, 21 June, 22 September and 21 December, the four year average slowly shifting to earlier times in the years to come. This shift is a full day in about 70 years (largely to be compensated by the century leap year rules of the Gregorian calendar). But that also means that as many years ago the dates of 21 March, 22 June, 23 September and 22 December were much more common, as older books teach and older people still remember.

Answer 7

Expanding on my reply to your previous question, where I determined that January has the shortest days, December would have the longest.

This is all just considering the months in one calendar year.

Answer 8

if you are talking daylight then december & june
the winter and summer solstice depending pon the hemisphere your in in the southern hemisphere june is the shortest days and december the longest and the reverse for the northern hemisphere

Answer 9
