When is the Length of Day Always the Greatest

Question

When is the length of day always the greatest?
A) during the September equinox
B) during the March equinox
C) during the winter solstice
D) during the summer solstice

Accepted Answer

The summer solstice, which occurs in late June in the Northern Hemisphere and late December in the Southern Hemisphere, is when the length of day is always the greatest. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis is oriented towards the sun, resulting in longer days and shorter nights.
