That’s because It’s the Longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, not the entire world

*longest day of the year *for the northern hemisphere*. For the southern hemisphere it’s the shortest day.

Every spot on Earth averages 12 hours of daily sunlight per year.

It’s also the darkest day of the year.Â

Almost as if the Earth was a bit sideways compared to the way it turns, like, as if the longest day in one side of the planet was coincidentally the shortest in the other…

I’m wondering how so called flat earthers will be able to explain this

I mean, literally every place closer to the equator will have a later sunset. That’s how it works

Can you come with a similarly interesting fact about the solstice that’s coming now?

Here in Scotland, it’s really cool watching the blue sky travel from the west across the north and rising again in the east. I think for a while it technically doesn’t get any darker than nautical twilight

There’s brightness until 11 in Ireland in 21st June, although sun sets at 10-10.20ish across the island

I feel like we need some axial tilt in this pic. Like, I’d like to have the photo be perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, rather than parallel to the axis.

Obviously..
I don’t understand why you think this is something special?
Brazil is in the southern hemisphere.
You can literally pick any location in the southern hemisphere and any location in the northern and make the same statement.
That’s just how seasons work on earth.
You also got it backwards for this time of year.
The longest days are currently in the southern hemispheres, so the sun is definitely setting first in the Northern hemisphere.

Noticed that the year Brazil held the world cup, games would be at night and it would still be light in Scotland
