Depends where you are. The sun directly over the Tropic of Cancer marks the longest day for the Northeren hemesphere, the Tropic of Capricorn marks the longest day for the southern hemesphere AND for locations midway between the two tropics it would be when the sun is over the equator.\nThe easiest way to determine this is check your calendar. The first day of summer as noted on the calendar is usually the longest day for your location.

the longest calendar year was AD 46.  the romans made 1 january the first day of the year in 153 BC, but they also made the year 355 days long.  julius caesar corrected the problem with the julian calendar in AD 46 by making the year 365 days long and adding 90 days.

This is a good question.  It is logical to think that the shortest day would have the latest sunrise.  The answer is not really quick and easy, so I'll refer you to the linked page.  About 2/3 of the way down, they address your question specifically.  It has to do with Earth's analemma (basically, the shape of the curve obtained when plotting the sun's position relative to Earth over the course of the year).\n\nThe bottom line is, due to the shape of the analemma, the latest sunrise occurs on Jan. 4, and the eariest sunset on Dec. 7, even though the solstice is on Dec. 21.

Believe it or not the weather in th UK is not actually ever that extreme so apart from the odd day courses are normally open to play when ever you like including Christmas day if you so desire. Be warned though from late October early November until mid March most courses go to winter tees, this often means you have to tee off from one of those awful mat things fifty yards up the fairway.

Basically, Winter Solstice is the shortest 'daylight' day of the year, and Summer Solstice is the longest 'daylight' day of the year.\n\nVarious religions and cultures celebrate these days in a number of ways.\n\nWe BBQ!  The summer one is held outside, with various picnic games, and it is a block party.  During the winter, the party is held indoors at the community center, and is a BBQ potluck, with a pie auction.

There are two solstices each year, summer and winter. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year. In the Northern hemisphere this happens right around June 21 (summer) and December 21 (winter) in the Southern Hemisphere these dates are reversed. The dates vary slightly year by year, of course, because the sun doesn't pay attention to our calendar.\n\nLikewise there are two equinoxes in the year, Autumn and Spring. These are the days when the hours between sunrise and sunset and sunset and sunrise again are of equal length. That is, the day and night are the same. These occur right around March 20th (vernal/spring) and September 21st (autumnal/fall). Again, it's reversed in the Southern Hemisphere and dates vary.
