In June 2017, the northern hemisphere experienced the longest daylight hours for fasting. From sunrise to sunset, it lasted 21 hours. Examples of such locations include Greenland and Sweden. Conversely, areas with the shortest fasting hours were in Chile and Australia, less than 11 hours.
This extended fasting period in the northern hemisphere occurred because it coincided with the sun's cycle at the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere. June 21st marked the longest day of the year. At that point, the sun's position gradually began moving back towards the southern hemisphere.
In school curricula, this apparent movement of the sun from north to south is known as the Earth's revolution. This means the observed changes are due to the Earth's movement around the sun.
