Summer officially start on Friday, which mean tommorow thursday the 20th will be the longest day of year. And tommorow night the shortest night of year.

On friday, the days will start getting shorter :)

We lose about a minute a day, right? : (

Except on the day that time is moved to daylight saving time which is only 23 hours long :)

When does Day end and Night begin?

It happens to be the day with the most amount of sunlight and the night with the least amount of darkness.
