Sorry to be the party pooper but aren't all "days" of equal length?
There's considerable variation between sunrise from Aberdeen to Margate, from Plymouth to Norwich.
On the ISS they circle the earth every 40 minutes, who knows where they see the sunrise?

On this day, the earth's "circle of illumination" will be from the Arctic Circle on the far side of the earth (in relation to the sun) to the Antarctic Circle on the near side of the earth. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, there's 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and areas north of 66°30' N, and there's 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole and areas south of 66°30' S.
June 20-21 is start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere but simultaneously the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere. It's also the longest day of sunlight for places in the Northern Hemisphere and the shortest day for cities south of the equator. |

So basically it's MidSummer here and MidWinter in Australia? |
