In terms of daylight and darkness, that will depend on where in the world you are.

If you were on the equator, it would be about 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness all year. Between the equator and the poles, the amount of darkness and daylight will vary, getting more extreme the closer to the poles you get.
