That depends where in the world you are. -You didn't tell us that.
July 2nd. You are safe in saying that July 2nd is the middle day of the year because: the mid-year point occurs at noon on July 2nd on non-leap years, and just as the day begins on July 2nd on leap years. On non-leap years there are 182 days that fall before July 2nd, and 182 days that come after July 2nd. The mid-year point is therefore in the middle of the day on July 2nd. On leap years, the mid-year point occurs at midnight between July 1st and July 2nd. At this point 183 days have passed, and there are 183 days yet to happen (including the full day of July 2nd). The math for this is straight-forward. There are 365 days in a non-leap year, and 366 days in a leap year. Since days of the year do not start at 0, they start at 1 this is the formula you can use to calculate the mid-point: MidYearPoint = (daysInTheYear / 2) + 1 (365 / 2) + 1 = 182.5 + 1 = 183.5 = Noon, July 2nd (366 / 2) + 1 = 183 + 1 = 184 = Beginning of the Day, July 2nd. *July 2nd is the 183rd day in non-leaps years, and it's the 184th day in leap years. There is a slight flaw in the preceding, it appears to be have been overlooked that in the many countries that use "summer time" where the time has been advanced in Spring by one hour, that the actual mid point in the year is at 1300 hrs (one hour after noon) on 2nd July in a non leap year... to explain: 182 days and 12 hours (4,380 hours) have elapsed and there are 182 days and 12 hours (4,380hours) remaining. And in leap years the mid point is at 1:00 am (one hour after the start of the day) on the 2nd July when exactly 4392 hours have elapsed and there are 4392 hours remaining. In 2014, the middle day of the year also falls on the middle day of the week (Wednesday). ~ Edited by John Lloyd
No, there are 24 hours a day
If you mean "how many hours are IN one day", then there are 24 hours in a day.
