Whats the longest day of the year 2023?
 It’s the northern hemisphere’s shortest day and longest night of the year. No matter where you live on Earth, the solstice happens at the same instant: Dec. 21 at 9:27 p.m. CST. It’s when the sun reaches its farthest southward point for the year, and when noontime shadows are the longest of the year.
About Summer solstice
Even though most people consider June 21st as the date of the June Solstice, it can happen anytime between June 20th and June 22nd, depending on which time zone you’re in. June 22nd Solstices are rare – the last June 22nd Solstice in UTC time took place in 1975 and there won’t be another one until 2203. Did you know?The word Solstice comes from the Latin ‘solstitium’ meaning ‘Sun stands still’ because the movement of the Sun’s path north or south appears to stop before changing direction.
