How many minutes of daylight do you gain per day?
Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
A clock that gains 30 second every hour will gain how many minutes in a day?
A clock that gain 30 second every hour will gain how many minutes in a day?
How many a minutes a day does daylight move?
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
How many hours of the day are in the summer solstice?
Different latitudes have different daylight hours. The 2014 summer solstice in New York will see the sun rise at 5:24 a.m. on June 21 and set at 8:30 p.m. after 15 hours, six minutes of daylight.
How many minutes in the longest day of the year?
Every day has 24 hours. Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, (24 hr)*(60 min/hr) = 1440 min. The exception to the 24 hours is that every once in awhile, they add a 'leap second' to the day, so that the atomic clocks stay in sync with the Earth's rotation. If you are referring to minutes of daylight on the Summer Solstice (day with the most daylight hours), then I'm sure there are tables out there to find this information, but it will vary by location. In areas near the Arctic Circle they have daylight nearly all day in the Summer time, for example.
