IRISH AND PROUD
june the 21st and december the 21st is the shortest


Not waving but drowning
No September 22nd 2008 is the autumnal equinox = equal amount of daylight and night
The vernal equinox = same as autumnal equinox, fell on the 20th March this year '08

The winter solstice = shortest amount of daylight in the year falls on the 21st December 2008
The summer solstice = longest amount of daylight fell on the 20th June this year '08

The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to go around the Sun. This is the reason we have a leap year every 4 years, to add another day to our calendar so that there is not a gradual drift of date through the seasons. For the same reason the precise time of the equinoxes are not the same each year, and generally will occur about 6 hours later each year, with a jump of a day (backwards) on leap years.

Hope this clarifies things for you.
