What was the date of the 1962 summer solstice?
The summer solstice in 1962 occurred on June 21st.
If the solstice is the longest day is the shortest night the night before or after the daytime bit?
The time of sunrise/sunset levels off a day or two either side of the longest day, so that both the morning 'night' and that day's evening 'night' are the same length. Neither will be shorter than the other, if we are calculating to the nearest minute. However, the precise moment when the sun is at its northernmost/southrnmost point or limit of movement in relation to the earth is called the solstice. The exact moment of the summer solstice (i.e. to the nth degree ) can be at anytime of our day. In some years it is around mid-day, in some years it is nearer midnight, in fact, it could be any time. This precise moment of standing still (latin: sol = sun, + sistere = to stand still) can even be in the next or the previous day, i.e. not in the 24hr period we call 21st June!In fact, in this year, 2008, the precise moment of the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere (NH) was at 23:59 on 20th June! And in 2012 it will also be on 20th June, but at 23:09! And on 21st June 2006 and 2007, it occurred at 12:26 and 18:06 respectively. The reason for this is that calendars are 'rounded' for our convenience, and our arbitrary divisions into years, months and 'days in the month' do not correspond exactly with the earth's rotation about the sun. So, although 21st June is designated the longest day (in the NH), and on average that would be so, the fact that the precise moment of solstice varies up to 12 hours or so either side of mid-day on the 21st, means that the corresponding shortest night can occur either side of that moment. However, traditionally, the shortest night is reckoned to start in the evening of the 21st June and continue to the morning of June 22nd. In reality, if calculated to the nearest minute, both nights (the previous night and the night commencing in the evening of 21st June) would be the same length. So perhaps we should all celebrate 'the shortest night' on two nights, at least! Of course, in the southern hemisphere (SH) the longest day and shortest night occurs around the 21st Of December. So, if we celebrated the shortest night twice around 21st June in the NH, we could also go to the SH in December and celebrate it twice more, thus making four 'shortest night' celebrations every year!
