The first day of summer - on/about June 21 is the longest day and shortest night.
Because of the earths tilt of 22.5 degrees
If you mean the longest: When you have the longest day, you'll also have the shortest night, and vice versa. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day is around June 21, and the shortest day is around December 21. In the southern hemisphere, it is the other way round.
The inclination of the axis affects seasons (and the amount of light and darkness). In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night are in June. After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December. In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.
Not too long. Because, we are way down South doesn't mean we need daylight saving. South Africa experiences all year round sunshine.
