Are the days getting shorter and shorter after the summer solstice?

Yes, the days are getting shorter and shorter after the summer solstice.

On the day of summer solstice, the sun shines almost directly on the Tropic of Cancer, and absolutely (almost) directly at noon, so there will be a short-term phenomenon of "standing without a shadow" on the Tropic of Cancer. At present, there are five signs of the Tropic of Cancer in Chinese mainland, which are distributed in Shantou, Conghua and Fengkai in Guangdong, Guiping in Guangxi and Mojiang in Yunnan.

After the "summer solstice", the position where the sun shines directly on the earth gradually moves southward, and the days in the northern hemisphere gradually shorten. There is a folk proverb that "after eating the summer solstice, the line is getting shorter every day." It is said that after the summer solstice, the days become shorter and shorter, and every day, sewing becomes less and less.

It is found that after the summer solstice, the time of a day is decreasing, which is similar to that of a person using a thread, about a few minutes. So there is a saying that a line is shorter in one day.
