Pinakamahabang araw mararanasan ngayong araw
NGAYONG araw ang pinakamahabang araw ng 2018, ayon sa Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration.
Tinatawag itong summer solstice na isang astronomical event kung saan mahigit sa 12 oras mayroong araw kaya maikli ang gabi.
“Philippine nights are at their shortest and daytime are at their longest during the Summer Solstice,” saad ng PAGASA. “This is the time when the sun attains its greatest declination of +23.5 degrees and passes directly overhead at noon at latitude 23.5 degrees north, which is known as the Tropic of Cancer.”
Ang Summer Solstice ay kabaliktaran ng Winter Solstice kung saan mas mahaba ang gabi kaysa sa araw.
