21/Jun/23 longest day of the year


 

Good morning world.

Maximus Handsomius here from my forever home, in Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada.

Some people say that today, the 1st day of Summer, is the longest day of the year.

This is wrong.

There is 23 hours and 56 minutes in a day.

That hasn't changed in a long time.

This is why we have a correction on February 29th once every 4 years.

Now, if people said this is the most sunlight our planet will get on this day, that would also be wrong.

The people in the Southern continents, this is their Winter and it's the day with the least amount of sunlight.

So it does balance.

It would be correct today, in the Northern Hemisphere of our planet, this day has the sun, the longest above the horizon.

Seems very wordy.

OK, it's the longest day of the year.

Humans...

Weirdos...

Where is my kibble and water?

Oh yea, and please take me for a walk.

Those are my two biggest concerns.

As far as the sun being above the horizon today...  horray...

Your blast from the past
