Experts predict a 14-hour day and 10-hour night on June 22, marking the longest day and shortest night of the year according to astronomers.
In a significant celestial event, astronomers have determined that today, June 22, will witness the longest day and shortest night of the year. Experts in the field of astronomy have calculated that the duration of daylight will span approximately 14 hours, while the night will be a mere 10 hours.
