Why December Has The Longest Days
Published on Dec 22, 2015 MinutePhysics
"December has the longest solar days (noon-to-noon) because of the weird way a combination of the axial tilt of the earth and the eccentricity of its elliptical orbit conspire in December. Perihelion + Solstices = Long Days."
