The December day with the longest sunlight usually occurs around December 21st, which is known as the winter solstice. This is when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted farthest from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year.

In the United States, June typically has the most hours of sunlight. This is because June marks the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours.
The longest daylight day of the year in the US is typically around June 21st, known as the summer solstice. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth is tilted towards the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight.
The Earth's axis tilt causes the angle at which sunlight hits different parts of the Earth to change throughout the year, creating the seasons. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences longer days and shorter nights, while the other hemisphere experiences shorter days and longer nights. This tilt also affects the intensity of sunlight received, influencing temperature and weather patterns.

20 December
The first day of summer (on or about June 21 in the Northern Hermisphere) is the longest day of the year, meaning the most hours of sunlight. From there, each day is a little bit shorter until you come to the shortest day, the first day of winter (on or about December 21). Then they start getting longer again. The first day of summer is called the Summer Solstice, and the first day of winter is called the Winter Solstice.
