Experts predict a 14-hour day and 10-hour night on June 22, marking the longest day and shortest night of the year according to astronomers.
In a significant celestial event, astronomers have determined that today, June 22, will witness the longest day and shortest night of the year. Experts in the field of astronomy have calculated that the duration of daylight will span approximately 14 hours, while the night will be a mere 10 hours.
This phenomenon occurs just after the summer solstice, which falls on July 1st, when the length of daylight gradually begins to diminish. As the days progress beyond June 22, daylight hours will gradually decrease, and the equilibrium between day and night will be achieved on September 22.
Following September 23, nights will lengthen, and the duration of daylight will shorten once again. This annual cycle culminates in the shortest day and longest night of the year on December 22.
Astronomy enthusiasts and nature lovers alike can relish this unique occurrence as they witness the transition between the longest day and the shortest night. It serves as a captivating reminder of the Earth’s annual journey around the sun and the natural rhythms that shape our lives.
