Methinks that you refer to some effect from the Equation of Time. And I don't know if there is a name for it. 2011/9/14 Frank Evans <[email protected]> Greetings, fellow dialists, I tried to astonish my grandson by telling him that this was the longest day of the year. (I think this is correct; today is 24 hours and 22 seconds long.) He replied by asking if there was a name for this day. He said he couldn't find anything on the interwebs. I am being outplayed by a grandson! Any help with a name, please?
