If I remember my secondary school geography well then I think we're too close to the equator to even notice. Days and nights are virtually the same length. In many parts of Nigeria

So today pass 24hours, Geographers over to you guys to educate us.
It's still 24 hours the only difference is that daytime becomes longer than the night, normally daytime should last for 12 hours roughly likewise the night, but since today is summer solstice daytime becomes longer and lasts for 14 to 15 hours while night time lasts for 9 to 10 hours instead of 12. If you add the hours together you still get 24 hours. Luckily for us in the tropics this is not noticeable compared to countries in the temperate and polar regions.

"The sun eclipsed and the Prophet got up, being afraid that it might be the Hour (Day of Judgment). He went to the Mosque and offered a with the longest Qiyam, bowing and prostration that I had ever seen him doing. Then he said, 'These signs which Allah sends do not occur because of the life or death of somebody, but makes His worshipers afraid by them. So, when you see anything thereof, proceed to remember Allah, invoke Him, and ask for His forgiveness.'"

Today (June 20, 2020), is the longest day of the year

For those who have been following the weather (especially children who play a lot, adults who fast, and Muslims who pray around 7 in the evening), you may have noticed that dusk comes much later, and lasts for longer.

(Dusk is the period of brief daylight after the sun has set. It marks the boundary between evening and night.)

Everywhere becomes dark around 7:30 pm or even much later, instead of around a few minutes to seven as it used to be in the past (at least, here in Lagos).

This is happening because we are close to the summer solstice, and in fact, today, June 20, 2020, is the summer solstice.


What does Summer Solstice mean?

As you should know, the earth revolves around the sun. However, the earth is not completely round and neither is its orbit round the sun.

The earth’s orbit is elliptical, which makes the distance between the earth and the sun vary throughout the year.

The earth itself is a bit flat at the north and south poles, which makes its side bulge out like a balloon that is about to burst.

The result is that, once a year, the earth positions itself such that the sun appears at its highest position in the sky in the northern part of the earth.

The summer solstice is on the left.

That day is called the Summer Solstice and is usually between June 20 and 22 every year.

However, that moment in 2020 falls on 5:44 pm EDT on June 20 (today). For us in Nigeria, that is 10:44 pm WAT (West African Time).


What happens on the Summer Solstice?

The summer solstice is always the longest day and shortest night of the year. This means we will enjoy more daylight today than on any other day of the year.

People living at the northernmost and southernmost parts of the earth will even enjoy 24 hours of sunlight throughout the day.

The summer solstice also marks the beginning of the summer season in the northern hemisphere (the northern half of the earth).

However, the reverse will happen in the southern hemisphere (the southern half of the earth) where the sun will be at its lowest point, making the summer solstice the beginning of the winter season in the Southern hemisphere.


What about the solar eclipse?

Lucky for us, this year’s solstice will coincide with a very rare solstice solar eclipse that will last from 4:45 am to 9:34 am on June 21. (The next solstice solar eclipse will only come around on June 21, 2039.)

The eclipse will look like the photo above. That is the moon covering the sun with the thin "ring of fire" line visible.

Tomorrow’s eclipse will be visible from some parts of Africa and Asia.

People living in Congo, Ethiopia, and China will see the eclipse, and so will people living in northern India, southern Pakistan, and the Central African Republic.

The eclipse will be most visible in the area that is orange in color.

Unfortunately, it appears that it will not be visible from Nigeria.

And this year is the longest year of this 21st Century and 3rd Millennium.

YEAR 2020 SO FAR
Solar Eclipse, Leap year, Twin year, rumoured for World War III, CoronaVirus pandemic, strange deaths of celebrities/top guys, massive deaths worldwide, worldwide lockdown, impeachment trial for Donald Trump, funny Liverpool EPL coincidence, invincible Hushpuppi finally arrested, SpaceX's first astronaut launch, UK finally pulled out of EU, and many other events.

Abule-Ado explosion, Akure explosion, Edo explosion, Fire outbreaks. The list goes on

And now, a Solar Eclipse wanna wrap up the first half of the year.
Brace yourself folks, it's just six months gone, more actions coming in the second half.
The name of the movie is 2020, and it's action packed.
Aliens next
