The length of the day in Duluth, Minnesota on June 22nd is considerably longer than the length of the day in Brownsville, Texas on June 22nd.

As the sun moves further north during the summer months, the says are longer in the northern hemisphere.

The days are considerably shorter in the southern hemisphere in the summer months.

The short of this: in the summer, the sun travels farther and farther above the equator until the first day of summer is the longest day in the northern hemisphere.

But it does so every year in pretty much the same way. There is no more “day light” today than the same day for the last million+ years.
