Did you know that a day has 24 hours and night has 12 hours. discuss why you agree or disagree?
It's all a question of semantics really, it is whether you are classing day as daylight or as the time it takes the Earth to do a full rotation. If the former, then a day would have 24 - how many hours of night there is, if the latter then yes, there is 24 hours (at least to a reasonable approximation, due to certain variables which alter it very slightly every time).
How many hours of daylight on the shortest day wick?
That completely depends on where on Earth you are, specifically your latitude. For example, at the north and south poles, there are one day and one night in a year, and they're both six months long.
Why is the sun visible for so many hours of the day in Alaska?
Every place on Earth, when averaged out over a year, gets 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. At the equator this daylight and darkness is spaced out in about 12 hour intervals (day and night). However, because of the tilt of the Earth's axis of spin, as one move towards the poles the length of night and day changes with the seasons until when you reach the poles, daylight lasts for 6 continual months and darkness lasts for 6 continual months. Alaska is near the North pole, so during summer the days are very long.

Average daylight hours?

Does stress induce estrous in female ferrets?
No, in female ferrets estrous is control by the amount of light or daylight they are exposed to. Female Ferret "Jills" are "seasonally polyestrous" which means they have multiple heat cycles, in spring and summer.The ferret is a photoreceptive breeder. Breeding season is triggered by photoperiod, the length of daylight hours, it's when there is more daylight than night or the ratio of daylight hours to night time hours to cause physical changes in their bodies.
About how many hours of daylight will there be in the Northern Hemisphere on the fall equinox?
The equinox is the point in time where the Sun crosses the equator and there is no tilt to the Earth, thus there are approximately the same number of hours of light and darkness in both hemispheres. The term "equinox" comes from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).
