AlaskanDame: Shortest day
All days are NOT the same. That's why we have a nuclear clock. A miniscule difference in time every day.
The bold two words should have been self-evident of exactly what I meant.
A "day" consists of sunlight. The night consists of darkness.
If you want to be anal about this, read your own quote
AlaskanDame: Nope, all days are the same length, about 24 hours+
There are two times a year when the earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun, resulting in a "nearly" equal amount of daylight and darkness at all latitudes...
They are referred to as the "equinoxes" from latin... aequus nox
One day is not in fact 24 hours and is in fact 23 hours and 56 minutes
