In India, summer starts around mid of February and lasts till Mid/end of June. After which monsoon starts, so technically in India days get longer in summer. Days are shorter in winter , which starts around October and lasts till end of January/mid February. I'm, of course, referring to daylight and not the number of hours in the day.
I live in southern part of India and it is a tropical region. Here for us summer starts on Mid March and ends in June 1st week. Can you explain How longer the day light for us??
Day-light savings was instituted as a war time measure. It was first done during the 1st WW and then ended when the war was over and reinstated during the 2nd WW and they never stopped.

Your definition of summer as starting on the June solstice and lasting to the September equinox doesn't make any sense from a climatological point of view since June at mid to high latitudes in the northern hemisphere usually is noticeably warmer than September. Likewise, December is usually significantly colder than March. The exceptions are places with very marked coastal climate that delays the temperature response to the increasing daylight during early spring or the decreasing daylight during early autumn. The traditional definition of summer as being the months June, July and August fits my local climate in southeastern Norway very well. The result is that my summer starts with three weeks of increasing daylight before that trend is reversed.
Thats y two types of eclipse solar and lunar and they perfectly eclipse each other same size control temp while stars control season all controlled by polaris controlling polarity on earth making weather
Because of this to me the summer solstice always marked the middle of the summer. Also it's pendant in the winter, it marks the point when I'm half way through this terrible cold season. And yes, basically there are only 2 seasons: Summer, warm, cozy. And winter, cold , terrible. Sadly here in Germany it's like more winter than summer, why we have an idiom here: I like the summer, it's the best week of the year.
So wait, since the days start getting shorter after the Summer Solstice, then why is July and August so much hotter than May and June? Neil, come back!
One corn plant, given adequate growing conditions, will produce between two and four ears of corn. Early varieties produce fewer, while later-maturing types produce slightly more. How much corn you get will largely depend on how well you take care of the crop. Google it Also when back in a day all people wanted to get up early as possible to work, now it is silly to have daylight savings thou. Also when they say summer they have longer days and winter shorter they meant for whole days combine. It s fact that when you combine all days in summer sun sets way later then in winter
In Dutch we have a saying: "Als de dagen gaan lengen, gaat de vorst strengen.." witch means as the daylight gets longer the winter is coming.. if you think logic 6 months later the summer is coming.. witch means the days will get shorter then.. maybe America should use the same saying 😎
@@LordKalte It depends on if you say days ARE or GET longer. In this case, the title was misleading as Neil answered the question if days in the summer GET longer, not ARE longer. On average, yes, days are longer in the the summer and shorter in the winter.
Days in summer are longer compared to the days in the winter, and not compared to previous day. In my country (India) the summer season starts from almost 15th March and ends on mid September. So for me, The summer solastice is on mid summer.
Our summer starts at vernal equinox and we think that the summer is half way throught when we celebrate the longest day of the year at "juhannus", which is even translated "midsummer day" in english.
I started watching this video and my sister walks in, here's the conversation: Sis: "Who are these people?" Me: "Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck." Sis: "Chuck Norris?"
Neil I'm sorry but you are wrong, corn has many cobs on the stock. I'm currently growing 🌽 and I don't know if there's some GMO corn or what but they have more than one corn on the stock.
i'd be surprised if there was any such thing as mass produced non-gmo corn out there these days, aside from some of the original cultivars, and even those will probably have some modern genetics mixed in just due to how much corn is grown and how it pollinates.
Daylight Savings Time was so that the shops and banks would be open when the farmers brought their wares and all in to town, so that the banks would still be open and everything. It never had anything to do with city people, and nowadays it's not really relevant at all, least how it was explained to me. Spring Forward was so that the businesses would be open in the afternoons, when the farmers were done in the fields and needed to run to town. It went back in fall because then the farmers had less work to do, and that was for city people, in a time when not all streets were lit people going home from work didn't have to walk in darkness. Again, not really useful now with things like street lights.
I was wondering since you called it the first day of summer. But got cleared up when you said that it is also called the mid day of summer. Great video. Thank you.
An astrophysically accurate version of “the days get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter”… The daytime hours get longer in winter and spring and peaks at the summer solstice… whereas, the daytime hours get shorter in summer and fall and troughs in the winter solstice.
"People don't have as full of thought as they can." The story of the human race, brother. * Also, its definitely not always one ear of corn per stalk, it depends on the maturity of the plant. You can easily get two per stalk, and it also depends on the type of corn it is. Just saying.
I was wondering about that too. I've never seen a plant with just one corn. I remember seeing plants with like 4-5 on it. But i just read that mostly on the edges of the fields, where plants get more light it appears that the plants grow more corn than in the midfield. But also i am from Germany maybe we use a different type of corn, idk.
@@madrooky1398 I'm from Ohio, you can't turn a corner without running into some corn. And regardless of where the position of the corn is in the field, you most often get more than one cob per stock. He was speaking like it's an absolute truth that it's one per stalk, not so. And also, Germany or USA, corn doesn't know where its located lol, it's just corn. There's also a difference between feed corn for live stock, and the corn that humans consume.
Okay i'll be honest most of the stuff that is talked about i either am like "okay i can 'understand' this" or it goes over my head. But this actually fully and completely mind blown me!
I always thought that whole point of daylight savings time is to keep sunrise more consistent throughout the year. It's not that the crops don't care about the time, it's that farmers need to work outside and instead giving them an extra hour of daylight in the evenings is more helpful than getting an extra hour in the morning. If you don't like the sun setting at 8:30pm you'll like the sun rising at 3:30am even less.
The whole point of that part of the video is that the farmer will wake up and do their job following sunrise and sunset, not the set, defined "hour" at which they occur. For example, a farmer might wake up at 5 cuz thats when daylight creeps out and later in the year he will wake up at 7 cuz thats when daylight creeps in. For them the hour is irrelevant, all that matters is they start work following the actual sunrise sunset.

In "Bangla calendar" we start summer from April,14th .. so from there every day after that gets longer and longer until June 21st or something. And then it gets shorter and shorter until December 16th when the people decided to call it the "Winter"... So I think in my case the saying "in summer days get longer"Is half true...🤔🤔 I think.
Neil please explain me why does red light travels more distance with a faster speed if it has less energy as compare to blue light which has more energy but travels lesser distance with a lesser speed?❓
All light travels at the same speed, speed of light or c. Light photon energy is dependent on its wavelength, shorter the wavelength higher the energy. What you might be referring to is that objects that are moving away from us emit light that becomes redshifted, or becomes longer in wavelength, but still travels at the same speed. Opposite for objects moving toward us which light gets blue shifted. It’s basically same thing as Doppler effect for sound.

When all the leaves blossom on the trees in the northern hemisphere in the spring/summer the Earth's center of gravity is changed, slowing down the Earth's rotation making the days longer. It's like a figure skater putting their arms out while spinning, it slows them down.

Indeed, Neil, June 21st is called Midsummer. In the Celtic calendar, which much of western Europe followed at some point (and some people still do), summer starts on Beltaine, or May 1st. In fact, to be precise, the Celtic year started with winter on November 1st, or should I say, the evening of October 31st. In short, in Celtic times, things started in the darkness, not in the light, as the darkness was seen by Man, then following the rhythms of the natural world and applying them to its spiritual beliefs, as the time when things germinate, just like introspection and ideas first take shape in the mind (here akin to "under the ground") before coming into being (akin to plants eventually growing out of the soil). So the year started the night of October 31st, or Samhain (pronounced Sawain in old Gaelic, language of the Celts), followed by Spring on the night of January 31st to February 1st (Imbolc, pronounced Immoloc), a time for lambs being born, the first milk of the year and plants starting to grow, then Summer on the night of April 30 to May 1st (Beltaine, pronounced Bieltana), and finally Autumn on the night of July 21st to August 1st (Lughnasa, pronounced Loonasa), the harvest season. Then back to New Year with the start of Winter. Of course, I am placing all this within the modern calendar. Back then, as you well know, people would just followed the natural cycles around them. I'm sure you knew all this anyway, but just in case it adds any more details to the picture, I thought I'd share it. Take care, You and Chuck.

Yes, the whole concept of daylight savings time is backwards! This is especially true for school children. Having to go to school in the mornings, still dark. Getting home in the afternoon, dark again. Thanks to daylight savings, I had no sunlight during leisure activities from November through to February while I was in school. For context: I live much further north than the the U.S. (except for Alaska).
Neil: days are getting shorter after 20th june Chuck: Woooooooow Neil: Days are getting longer after 21th december Chuck: Woooooooow Neil: ...on some point days equals out Chuck: Woooooow (mind blowing) You should seriously consider changes in your education system. You are lucky to have Neil so he can tale you things we know in europe since primary school. Seems like US is the dumbest country in the world... or at least that's how its looks like.
In Northern Punjab, India, even spring kinda ends by late April. So our summers begin at maybe May 1st... So by the time June 21st comes around, it's not just longest summer day but also feels like hottest, driest summer day. I mean this year on June 21st I got dehydrated just from commuting back and forth to work on bike, no joke. (I'm a doctor) And, After June 21st, the average daily temperatures either stay the same or may keep rising a bit, but monsoons come shortly after, like few weeks later. So, for us, 21st June is actually middle of the summer, and days start to get colder and weather becomes wetter after. The late-july to mid-august, however, are very humid as a result of all the downpour and that humidity, sweating, even at temperatures like 35 degrees Celsius, make you feel like you're inside an oven or something.
Daylight savings is not about the evening, it's about the morning. It's because in Spring and Summer the sun rises before we wake up, so there are lost hours of sunshine. In fact I think it's mostly because we don't live symmetrically according to midday and midnight. We should go to sleep at 20.00h (8PM) and wake up at 4.00 (AM). Then midday is in the middle of our awake day, and midnight is in the middle of our sleep. Because in our culture we shifted this to 1 or 2 hours later we need daylight savings.
I haven't read all the comments, so I wouldn't know if someone has said it already, but the mistake isn't in the statement itself but in the way it's... well, stated! Let me explain. The word longer is used in comparison. Specifically, it compares daytime to nighttime. At least in Greece from where I am, we say that summer days have longer daytime than winter days. Which is true. From March 21st to September 21st, ie the 'summer days', daytime is actually longer than nighttime throughout this whole period. The rest of the year, ie the 'winter days', daytime is shorter than nighttime. Another proof of that is that since daytime duration alters literally every day, of course only one out of 365 days of the year will daytime be in it's max duration and every other day will have less daytime duration!!! Am I right or am I right???
America is advance on many things yet still behind on many things. The use of Imperial System (pounds) instead of the Metric System (grams). The use of Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. The use of 110 Volt instead of 220 Volt. I might have missed some but that's all I can think for now.
Longer days of summer is still accurate for those who experience their day as waking hours from say 7 am to 11 pm. In which case the daylight hours (aka days) get longer thru most of the summer. Yes, the elapsed time between sunrise and sunset get shorter in the summer, I.e after June 20. But that’s because at 7am (the start of the experiencial day) the suns up already and that remains true into August. However, also into August, sunset continues to get later. So from 7am, a nominal wake up time except for early birds, to sunset, that period gets longer every day until sometime in August when sunset begins to get earlier. This is based on a latitude of 35 degrees.
It's more of a problem of linguistics than logic. Just as people mean, “the daytime,” when they say, “the day,” people are being sloppy/confusing their words when they say, ”the days get longer.” What they *_really_* mean to say is, “The days _are_ longer than the nights during summer than they are during fall or winter.” But as Feynman once said to Murray Gell-Man, “Murray, language is for _communication.”_

In India June 21st is kinda the last day of the summer....so the days do get longer
Neil:Days get longer in the winter and shorter in the summer
Me:😦
Days ARE longer in summer than in winter, but they are getting shorter. I don't know how anyone could miss that...
@@LordKalte It depends on if you say days ARE or GET longer. In this case, the title was misleading as Neil answered the question if days in the summer GET longer, not ARE longer. On average, yes, days are longer in the the summer and shorter in the winter.
Exactly. Ive always heard the days are longer not get longer. And yea the video title is different than what is discussed.
That's just Australia
Winter is coming...Winter has come....Winter was disappointing 😂😂😂
Chuck not so Nice 🤫
In these videos, first, you learn something new. Neil's and Chuck's dynamic is just a bonus. But it's an awesome bonus.
I really enjoy these lighthearted and educational videos! Thank you Neil & Chuck. 🙃
When Belle Delphine comes out with a new video and you content that day seems like it's a lot longer.
Days in summer are longer compared to the days in the winter, and not compared to previous day.
In my country (India) the summer season starts from almost 15th March and ends on mid September.
So for me, The summer solastice is on mid summer.
Our summer starts at vernal equinox and we think that the summer is half way throught when we celebrate the longest day of the year at "juhannus", which is even translated "midsummer day" in english.
I started watching this video and my sister walks in, here's the conversation:
Sis: "Who are these people?"
Me: "Neil deGrasse Tyson and Chuck."
Sis: "Chuck Norris?"
Please get sylvester james gates on the show or maybe a 2 or 3 part series.
You guys are just a hoot - really love your friendship. You make me laugh, educate me and make these terrible times bearable.
Neil I'm sorry but you are wrong, corn has many cobs on the stock. I'm currently growing 🌽 and I don't know if there's some GMO corn or what but they have more than one corn on the stock.
i'd be surprised if there was any such thing as mass produced non-gmo corn out there these days, aside from some of the original cultivars, and even those will probably have some modern genetics mixed in just due to how much corn is grown and how it pollinates.
Fine, Neil, days *are* longer in the Summer *than* in the winter. Semantics, semantics.
The Earth is Flat...that is the real reason¡!¡!¡!¡!¡!¡
Daylight Savings Time was so that the shops and banks would be open when the farmers brought their wares and all in to town, so that the banks would still be open and everything. It never had anything to do with city people, and nowadays it's not really relevant at all, least how it was explained to me. Spring Forward was so that the businesses would be open in the afternoons, when the farmers were done in the fields and needed to run to town. It went back in fall because then the farmers had less work to do, and that was for city people, in a time when not all streets were lit people going home from work didn't have to walk in darkness. Again, not really useful now with things like street lights.
I was wondering since you called it the first day of summer.
But got cleared up when you said that it is also called the mid day of summer.
Great video.
Thank you.
I’ve grown corn and got more then one cob from it. Did I have alien corn?
I've seen cornfields with several ears on a stalk. I hear pineapples are like that though.
"Bidding ye and thee and all thou
... to keep looking up". Beautiful, Neil! 😆
Surely everyone knows this right?
If the first day of summer is longest day of the year,then every other day in summer must be getting shorter
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Did people really not understood that?
An astrophysically accurate version of “the days get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter”…
The daytime hours get longer in winter and spring and peaks at the summer solstice… whereas, the daytime hours get shorter in summer and fall and troughs in the winter solstice.
Picking bananas at night is now a thought
Now I feel bad for not liking corn
"People don't have as full of thought as they can." The story of the human race, brother.
* Also, its definitely not always one ear of corn per stalk, it depends on the maturity of the plant. You can easily get two per stalk, and it also depends on the type of corn it is. Just saying.
I was wondering about that too. I've never seen a plant with just one corn. I remember seeing plants with like 4-5 on it. But i just read that mostly on the edges of the fields, where plants get more light it appears that the plants grow more corn than in the midfield. But also i am from Germany maybe we use a different type of corn, idk.
@@madrooky1398 I'm from Ohio, you can't turn a corner without running into some corn. And regardless of where the position of the corn is in the field, you most often get more than one cob per stock. He was speaking like it's an absolute truth that it's one per stalk, not so. And also, Germany or USA, corn doesn't know where its located lol, it's just corn. There's also a difference between feed corn for live stock, and the corn that humans consume.
Okay i'll be honest most of the stuff that is talked about i either am like "okay i can 'understand' this" or it goes over my head. But this actually fully and completely mind blown me!
May you pursue many more moments as that one you described!
I always thought that whole point of daylight savings time is to keep sunrise more consistent throughout the year. It's not that the crops don't care about the time, it's that farmers need to work outside and instead giving them an extra hour of daylight in the evenings is more helpful than getting an extra hour in the morning. If you don't like the sun setting at 8:30pm you'll like the sun rising at 3:30am even less.
The whole point of that part of the video is that the farmer will wake up and do their job following sunrise and sunset, not the set, defined "hour" at which they occur. For example, a farmer might wake up at 5 cuz thats when daylight creeps out and later in the year he will wake up at 7 cuz thats when daylight creeps in.
For them the hour is irrelevant, all that matters is they start work following the actual sunrise sunset.
People : Days gets longer in the summer
Neil : Hold my Sun

Spring equinox Summer solstice Fall equinox winter solstice1st day of spring Equinox12 hours of daylight12 hours of darkness Summer solstice Longest day of the year shortest night Fall equinox 12 hours of daylight 12 hours of darkness. Winter solstice Longest night of the year shortest day..
In "Bangla calendar" we start summer from April,14th .. so from there every day after that gets longer and longer until June 21st or something. And then it gets shorter and shorter until December 16th when the people decided to call it the "Winter"... So I think in my case the saying "in summer days get longer"Is half true...🤔🤔 I think.
Neil: What is the first day of summer?
Chuck: June 20 something?
June 1: Am I a joke to you?
Neil please explain me why does red light travels more distance with a faster speed if it has less energy as compare to blue light which has more energy but travels lesser distance with a lesser speed?❓
All light travels at the same speed, speed of light or c. Light photon energy is dependent on its wavelength, shorter the wavelength higher the energy. What you might be referring to is that objects that are moving away from us emit light that becomes redshifted, or becomes longer in wavelength, but still travels at the same speed. Opposite for objects moving toward us which light gets blue shifted. It’s basically same thing as Doppler effect for sound.
Thanks so much Fly Lo😀😀
This is why the first day of summer in Iceland is in April
NEIL, WILL IT EVER BE POSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD LANGUAGES INTO OUR BRAIN 🧠??? for example let’s say you go back to the past who cares where? But where your at you don’t know the language. So you take out your computer and download everything there is to know on how to speak the language onto a device that allows you insert into the back of your head and directly download to your brain 🧠 WILL THIS EVER BE POSSIBLE???? IS IT ALREADY?????
Sweet corn has more than 1 ear per plant
Daylight savings time was always a crock. I’m glad they have minimized it’s impact by shortening the duration.
Checking sunrises-sunsets in London, 5th of August 2021 and 5th of February 2021.
5th Aug is 5:31 am - 8:42 pm total of 15h11m daylight time
5th Feb is 7:33 am - 4:58 pm total of 9h25m total daylight
It seems to me that summers have longer daylight days.
What am I doing wrong?
When all the leaves blossom on the trees in the northern hemisphere in the spring/summer the Earth's center of gravity is changed, slowing down the Earth's rotation making the days longer. It's like a figure skater putting their arms out while spinning, it slows them down.
First day of Spring: Feb.2 First day of Summer May 1. First day of autumn Aug. 1 +/- 3-4 days, First day of winter: Oct. 31. If any of these dates sounds familiar, they should. Groundhog day, May day, ???, and Halloween. These are cross quarter days. They are inflection points in a plot of daylight vs. day of the year.
Approximately 3 minutes. The daylight gets shorter (June 22 to December 21) and gets longer (December 22 to June 21) by approximately 3 minutes daily. NDT 2020. MASA - Make America Smart Again.
Indeed, Neil, June 21st is called Midsummer. In the Celtic calendar, which much of western Europe followed at some point (and some people still do), summer starts on Beltaine, or May 1st. In fact, to be precise, the Celtic year started with winter on November 1st, or should I say, the evening of October 31st. In short, in Celtic times, things started in the darkness, not in the light, as the darkness was seen by Man, then following the rhythms of the natural world and applying them to its spiritual beliefs, as the time when things germinate, just like introspection and ideas first take shape in the mind (here akin to "under the ground") before coming into being (akin to plants eventually growing out of the soil). So the year started the night of October 31st, or Samhain (pronounced Sawain in old Gaelic, language of the Celts), followed by Spring on the night of January 31st to February 1st (Imbolc, pronounced Immoloc), a time for lambs being born, the first milk of the year and plants starting to grow, then Summer on the night of April 30 to May 1st (Beltaine, pronounced Bieltana), and finally Autumn on the night of July 21st to August 1st (Lughnasa, pronounced Loonasa), the harvest season. Then back to New Year with the start of Winter. Of course, I am placing all this within the modern calendar. Back then, as you well know, people would just followed the natural cycles around them.
I'm sure you knew all this anyway, but just in case it adds any more details to the picture, I thought I'd share it.
Take care, You and Chuck.
Bob Lazar has been proven Correct again = NY Times reports that Pentagon Astrophysicist Eric Davies says " US military has recovered Off World vehicles - and has briefed the US senate twice on this "
Didnt deGrasse laugh at UFOs ?
REPLY
I would like Neil deGrasse Tyson to give input about, "WMAP Cold Spot." I'm currently reading Astrophysics for People in a Hurry and a point was made that got me thinking about this "WMAP," I will be greatly appreciative if he did an upload. If he has , can someone point me in the correct direction please.
Yes, the whole concept of daylight savings time is backwards! This is especially true for school children. Having to go to school in the mornings, still dark. Getting home in the afternoon, dark again. Thanks to daylight savings, I had no sunlight during leisure activities from November through to February while I was in school. For context: I live much further north than the the U.S. (except for Alaska).
Neil: days are getting shorter after 20th june
Chuck: Woooooooow
Neil: Days are getting longer after 21th december
Chuck: Woooooooow
Neil: ...on some point days equals out
Chuck: Woooooow (mind blowing)
You should seriously consider changes in your education system. You are lucky to have Neil so he can tale you things we know in europe since primary school. Seems like US is the dumbest country in the world... or at least that's how its looks like.
In Northern Punjab, India, even spring kinda ends by late April. So our summers begin at maybe May 1st... So by the time June 21st comes around, it's not just longest summer day but also feels like hottest, driest summer day. I mean this year on June 21st I got dehydrated just from commuting back and forth to work on bike, no joke. (I'm a doctor) And, After June 21st, the average daily temperatures either stay the same or may keep rising a bit, but monsoons come shortly after, like few weeks later.
So, for us, 21st June is actually middle of the summer, and days start to get colder and weather becomes wetter after. The late-july to mid-august, however, are very humid as a result of all the downpour and that humidity, sweating, even at temperatures like 35 degrees Celsius, make you feel like you're inside an oven or something.
Daylight savings is not about the evening, it's about the morning. It's because in Spring and Summer the sun rises before we wake up, so there are lost hours of sunshine.
In fact I think it's mostly because we don't live symmetrically according to midday and midnight. We should go to sleep at 20.00h (8PM) and wake up at 4.00 (AM). Then midday is in the middle of our awake day, and midnight is in the middle of our sleep. Because in our culture we shifted this to 1 or 2 hours later we need daylight savings.
I haven't read all the comments, so I wouldn't know if someone has said it already, but the mistake isn't in the statement itself but in the way it's... well, stated! Let me explain. The word longer is used in comparison. Specifically, it compares daytime to nighttime. At least in Greece from where I am, we say that summer days have longer daytime than winter days. Which is true. From March 21st to September 21st, ie the 'summer days', daytime is actually longer than nighttime throughout this whole period. The rest of the year, ie the 'winter days', daytime is shorter than nighttime. Another proof of that is that since daytime duration alters literally every day, of course only one out of 365 days of the year will daytime be in it's max duration and every other day will have less daytime duration!!! Am I right or am I right???
America is advance on many things yet still behind on many things. The use of Imperial System (pounds) instead of the Metric System (grams). The use of Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. The use of 110 Volt instead of 220 Volt. I might have missed some but that's all I can think for now.
Longer days of summer is still accurate for those who experience their day as waking hours from say 7 am to 11 pm. In which case the daylight hours (aka days) get longer thru most of the summer. Yes, the elapsed time between sunrise and sunset get shorter in the summer, I.e after June 20. But that’s because at 7am (the start of the experiencial day) the suns up already and that remains true into August. However, also into August, sunset continues to get later. So from 7am, a nominal wake up time except for early birds, to sunset, that period gets longer every day until sometime in August when sunset begins to get earlier. This is based on a latitude of 35 degrees.
It's more of a problem of linguistics than logic. Just as people mean, “the daytime,” when they say, “the day,” people are being sloppy/confusing their words when they say, ”the days get longer.” What they *_really_* mean to say is, “The days _are_ longer than the nights during summer than they are during fall or winter.”
But as Feynman once said to Murray Gell-Man, “Murray, language is for _communication.”_
