Looking for the answer to “Summer days tend to be” in Cookie Jam? We’ve got you covered

It’s Friday once again, which means a fresh batch of Buzzwords has just landed in Cookie Jam. Based on what I’ve seen so far, it looks like the theme this time is all about celebrating summer – fitting, since astronomical summer officially begins tomorrow for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. With that in mind, let’s dive into the first clue from this weekend’s hints: “Summer days tend to be [blank].”

Answer to “Summer days tend to be” in Cookie Jam

Well, there’s a lot we could say about summer days. They can be hot, sometimes even uncomfortably so. They can also be unpredictable when it comes to weather, sunshine one minute, a sudden storm the next. But in this case, the answer was:

1. Summer days tend to be – long

And now, a quick geography lesson to explain why we say this: Summer days tend to be long because of the way the Earth is tilted on its axis, about 23.5 degrees. During summer in either the Northern or Southern Hemisphere, that hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun. This tilt causes the Sun to take a longer path across the sky, meaning it rises earlier and sets later. As a result, we experience more daylight hours, making the days feel noticeably longer. This effect peaks on the summer solstice, which marks the longest day of the year and the official beginning of astronomical summer.

So, if that moment is happening tomorrow, it also means that from then on, the days will gradually get shorter, leading us toward the shortest day of 2025 on December 21.
