The days are the same length. The sync rise and sunset times vary geographically.

Quoted: Actually, the opposite is true. Discuss if you wish or ignore me at your intellectual peril. Daylight (sunrise to sunset) get longer for half of winter, all of spring, and half of summer. Daylight gets shorter for half of summer, all of fall and half of winter. Days as in complete sidereal rotations remain pretty much the same length, discounting the gradual slowing of earth's rotation from tidal drag and other external forces. |

Quoted: Actually, the opposite is true. Discuss if you wish or ignore me at your intellectual peril. Wrong. A day is a rotation of the earth. It stays the same length. Daylight hours are a different subject... The average number of daylight hours doesn't change through the year although it does change locally. |

Are you using the word "day" to describe a unit equal to 1/365 of a year or the part of that 1/365 where the sun is visible (daylight hours)?

Quoted: Actually, the opposite is true. Discuss if you wish or ignore me at your intellectual peril. Correct. The amount of sun-light time starts increasing on December 22nd, peaks at June 22nd, and starts decreasing again. Days get longer winter and spring, and shorter summer and fall. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Correct. The amount of sun-light time starts increasing on December 22nd, peaks at June 22nd, and starts decreasing again. Days get longer winter and spring, and shorter summer and fall. That's only true in the northern hemisphere. 22nd of Dec is the longest day in the southern hemisphere. The average daylight hours globally are pretty close to constant. So you're correct IF your perspective is, shall we say, provincial. |

We call them the winter doldrums. Go to work when its dark, and drive home from work in the dark.

Not if I consider the day to be the part of the 24 hour period with light and the night to be the 24 hour period with dark.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Only to the mid point of their respective seasons. Nope - he is correct. The first day of winter falls on the Winter Solstice and is the shortest day (period of daylight) of the year. Hence, days get longer throughout the Winter, as each day is longer than the preceding day. The opposite is true of Summer, with the first day of Summer being the longest day of the year. |

Quoted: Actually, the opposite is true. Discuss if you wish or ignore me at your intellectual peril. Are you saying some days are shorter the others? No, we are not talking about the minutes that get added to Leap year or the daylight savings hoax. I don't care if we have daylight savings or not, it is just people playing with their clocks. On Earth we have 24 hours are in a day. What planet are you on? |
