That completely depends on the latitude where it's being measured.
Also, it starts out slowly immediately after the solstice, reaches a peak
daily rate at the time of the equinox, and slows down again as the next
solstice approaches.

∙ 8y agoAs an example, where I live, latitude 17 degrees, the longest day has about 13 hours, and the shortest, 11 hours. At a latitude of 50 (typical for Germany), the longest day has about 16 hours, and the shortest, 8 hours. Note that there are about six months between the longest and the shortest days, and - as explained in another answer you got - the relation isn't exactly a straight line.

If there was no light Pollution in London England - would the sky become pitch black at the time of the Summer Solstice?
No, there were no light pollution in London, England, it would not be pitch black at Summer Solstice because there is a full moon.================================Answer #2:At the time of the Summer Solstice, the sun's declination reaches roughly +23.5°.London's latitude is in the neighborhood of 51.5° North. That's still 15° southof the Arctic Circle, so the sun dips as much as 15° below London's horizon.That ought to be plenty to guarantee a very dark night.There's no connection between the Summer Solstice and the phases of the Moon.
How does Earth's axial tilt cause seasons?
The earth's axis is responsible for the seasons because (for example) we have winter because of the tilt because we are facing away from the sun, in the summer fully towards it, and for spring/autumn we are partially turned towards it.
Is solstice when the sun shines on one hemisphere?
Not exactly. The sun is always shining on parts of both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. As the Earth is tilted, there are times when it shines on more of one than the other. At the point it is shining on its maximum amount of one hemisphere, it is a solstice. It is still shining on the other hemisphere too, but just not as much as it is at other times. That happens in June, when it is mostly shining on the northern hemisphere, giving it longer days and shorter nights, and in December, when it is mostly shining on the southern hemisphere and it has the longer days and shorter nights.
How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
Which Planet has shorter rotation time Earth or Mars?
Earth, but there's not much difference.
How did the Vikings Celebrate?
They created Christmas by having a freast once a year in December this then became known as Christmas. Hope this helps x
How much time does The Lightning Thief span?
From the feild trip to the summer solstice.
How much shorter is each day after June 21st?
After June 21st, each day gets progressively shorter until December 21st, which marks the Winter Solstice. The amount of daylight lost each day varies depending on the latitude, but on average, it decreases by a few minutes each day during that period.
At what time of the year do the days become shorter?
Actually, the days start growing shorter from the summer solstice on, right through the summer and fall. That's because the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted about 23.5 degrees as compared to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
How much sunlight during summer solstice at the polar caps?
It ranges from 6 months at the pole to several months in the polar circle.

How often does anarctica have sunshine?
Not very much basically it is daytime for half a year then nightime for the rest except at the equator daytime is longer and nightime is shorter but in winter nightime is longer and summer is shorter. so only during summer and 1 half of the year.
How much gallons does solstice Pontiac hold?
my 2008 solstice holds 13 gal.
Is the sun ever directly overhead in summer in Australia?
Yes but only northern Australia because the tropic of Capricorn pretty much cuts Australia in half. So when the winter solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere the summer solstice is occurring in the southern hemisphere and sun is directly over the tropic of Capricorn which means anyone on that line the sun will be directly over you.
How does earth causes seasons?
The tilt and the spin of the earth combined with the sun causes the seasons. Winter=tilting away from the sun Spring= parallel to the sun Summer= tilting toward the sun Fall= same as spring Due to the position in orbit, as summer solstice approaches your hemisphere is exposed to the sun for longer periods of time each day and at it's maximum is at a much more perpendicular angle causing greater intensity of light at the surface. At the winter solstice and the opposite side of orbit, your hemisphere is then pointed away from the sun and receives much less radiation and much shorter days. At different points in orbit different types of weather are more likely, such as rain in the spring. Vegetation and animal life have adapted to the seasonal changes. Different cultures had different seasons but they were all interpretations of the changes in weather and ecology. For further reading: See related link
When is the longest day of the year in Sweden?
Every place on earth has the same number of daylight hours as any other placed on earth each year. The longer days of summer are compensated for EXACTLY by the shorter days of winter. Therefore EVERY PLACE ON EARTH gets 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night each year.
Describe the winter solstice?
The solstices are when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator; the point in the apparent path of the Sun at which the Sun is farthest south of the equator. Solstice happens twice a year on about June 21 and December 21.In other words, the solstice is when the tilt of the Earth's axis is in most inclined toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun's apparent position in the sky to reach its northernmost or southernmost extreme. This makes the winter solstice the shortest day of the year, and summer summer solstice the longest.solstices are when the it is the shortest day (December 22-25) of the year or the longest (June 21-23).Here is what the dictionary says. "1. Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest." The word solsitce is a noun.It comes from a term that literally means "sun stand", because the sun reaches its highest or lowest point of the year on the solstice (highest on the summer solstice, lowest on the winter solstice).
