If you don't find a chart.June 21 is the longest day of the year in the USA.Almost 17 hours of light that day as it will decrease by a few seconds or so per day,from there on out till harvest.

[bongerstonerd00d]

Winter Soltice is shortest day of year, and its on December 22nd. There is around 9 hours of daylight on that day, then they get progressively longer until June 21, then back the other way.

[m.g.]

daylight varies according to the latitude you're in so you can't compare with others living north or south of your line. if your local newspaper doesn't have sunrise/sunset times like most do, google for 'sunrise' then plug in your area.

here are the charts i use to calculate day length:
