What day has the least amount of sunlight?

[optoman]

In the northern hemisphere. I hate this time of year when the sun sets at about 4:30. I want the sunlight to last atleast past dinner. :disgust:

I think this year its Dec. 20 since its a leap year. Or maybe its 21 cause its a leap year. One of those...

Well at least that day is getting closer. From then on, the daylight hours get longer. But the weather gets colder!

Dec 21, Hehe, I bet it's pitch black all day in Antartica on that day. Must be the moon circling the horizon.

yeah, winter solstice this year is the 21st.

Moonbeam, actually, it'd be sunny all day. Antarctica's in the Southern Hemisphere

Moonbeam,
Antartica would have almost around the clock daylight since that pole is pointed towards the sun.
The Artic Circle on the other hand, since it's pointed away would have the extended twilight.

BA &amp; TonyH, I know, I was saying that's some kind of funny longest night with that very bright moon.
