The places closest to the poles, such as the Arctic Circle, experience the longest days. In the Arctic, particularly locations like northern Norway, Alaska, Iceland, and Canada, the summer solstice can have over 24 hours of daylight, with the sun not setting for several days in a row due to the Earth's axial tilt.
Mercury has the longest cycle of day and night among the terrestrial planets. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, which is longer than a year on Mercury. This is because Mercury rotates very slowly on its axis.
The longest night in 2008 occurred after the shortest day. The winter solstice, which marks the shortest day of the year, typically falls around December 21st. This means that the longest night, when the sun sets earliest and rises latest, would be after the winter solstice.
