What is the longest day of 2024 in Pakistan?

Published in Geography 1 min read

The longest day of 2024 in Pakistan, like in the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, will be the Summer Solstice. This occurs around June 21st, marking the day with the most hours of daylight.

The exact date and time of the Summer Solstice may vary slightly each year due to the Earth's elliptical orbit around the Sun.

Here's why the Summer Solstice is the longest day:

  • Earth's Tilt: The Earth is tilted on its axis at approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
  • Northern Hemisphere's Tilt: During the Summer Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, receiving the most direct sunlight and resulting in the longest day of the year.

While the exact length of the day varies depending on the specific location in Pakistan, the Summer Solstice generally marks the day with the most daylight hours.
