Gain... compared to what? Please clarify what you are comparing with what.
December has 31 days. Each day has 24 hours. Each hour has 60 minutes. Thus, the number of minutes in december is 31*24*60, or 44,640
Its not a constant value, from the winter solstice (shortest day, Dec 21) the increase is very slight rising to a maximum increase per day at the spring equinox ( Mar 20 ) As a rough guide, the total increase from mid december ( 7 hrs. 2 mins daylight) to mid March (11 hrs 48 mins daylight) is 296 mins. so that gives you 286 mins increase in 91 days = average increase of (286 / 91) 3.14 minutes per day
Every day has 24 hours. Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, (24 hr)*(60 min/hr) = 1440 min. The exception to the 24 hours is that every once in awhile, they add a 'leap second' to the day, so that the atomic clocks stay in sync with the Earth's rotation. If you are referring to minutes of daylight on the Summer Solstice (day with the most daylight hours), then I'm sure there are tables out there to find this information, but it will vary by location. In areas near the Arctic Circle they have daylight nearly all day in the Summer time, for example.
Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
The minimum is nine hours and five minutes.
In Oslo, the sunset will be 5 hours and 54 minutes after the sunrise on December 25, 2011.
The amount of daylight on August 1st will depend on where you are in the world. In Indiana on August 1st, there will be 14 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, which will translate to 850 minutes of daylight.
64 minutes
There are about 8.5 hours of daylight at the start of November and about 9 hours at the end of February, but on the winter solstice (around December 21-22), there is about 7 hours and 52 minutes of daylight.
The amount of daylight gained between December 21 and December 22 is measured in seconds. By the first week in January, it may be as much as a minute. From February 1 to February 2, 2 minutes, and by March 21, 4 minutes per day. Then it begins to decrease until June 21, when the difference goes back to zero.
Oslo, Norway experiences only about 6 hours of daylight in December due to its high latitude. The winter solstice occurs near the end of December, resulting in the shortest day of the year with limited daylight hours.
How many hours of daylight in New York in December 2010
the length of the day on the 25th of December is 7 hours, 57 minutes - about one minute more than on the 22/22 December which are the year's shortest days.
3 minutes a day
At the south pole, December is the middle of a continuous period of light that began on September 21 and lasts until March 21. Since December has 31 days, there are 744 hours of daylight there in December.
At 41 degrees north latitude, you gain some length of daylight every day from December 21 until June 21, and you lose some length of daylight every day from June 21 until December 21. The number of minutes difference from one day to the next also changes. It's greatest on March 21 and on September 21, and when you get to June 21 or December 21, it's almost nothing.
