The video explains the concept of the longest day of the year, known as the summer solstice, which marks the first official day of summer. It clarifies that while all days have 24 hours, the summer solstice has the longest daylight due to Earth's tilt. The Earth's axis is tilted, causing different daylight durations throughout the year. The video also discusses how solstices differ between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the summer solstice in one hemisphere corresponding to the winter solstice in the other.
