Summer Solstice

[theplayingmantis]

So its the summer solstive at 22.43 Saturday. i dont understand it though. when is the longest day, sunrise on the 20th to sunset or sunrise 21st to sunset?

as i understand it the 22.43 marks the time the northern pole is tilted most towards the sun?

can someone explain in idiots terms?
