विकल्प

• Longest Night

• Shortest night

Answer 1

Longest Night

Explanation:

When the Tropic of Cancer experiences its longest day (summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere), the sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer. At the same time, the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere experiences the longest night because it is winter there with the sun farthest away from that tropic. This is due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis causing opposite seasons in the two hemisphere.
