Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
Gain... compared to what? Please clarify what you are comparing with what.
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
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
3 minutes a day
The amount of daylight gained each day varies depending on the time of year and location. On average, the amount of daylight gained can range from 2 to 5 minutes per day during spring and fall, while it can be as much as 7 to 8 minutes per day around the summer solstice in some locations.

No matter where you are on the planet - the day lengthens by four minutes each day, after the winter equinox, up to the summer solstice.
Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
After the winter solstice, the amount of daylight gradually increases each day. The increase in daylight varies depending on your location, but on average, you can expect to gain about 2-3 minutes of daylight each day after the winter solstice.
Same as the rest of the planet - about four minutes per day.
After the winter solstice, the amount of daylight added each day gradually increases. Initially, only a few seconds are added, but as we approach the spring equinox, the days get longer more quickly. By the time of the summer solstice, the amount of daylight added each day starts to decrease again.
Approximately 4 minutes per day up to the summer solstice... then the day reduces by 4 minutes to the winter solstice.
In Victoria, BC, Canada, the amount of daylight gained per day from December to June 21 varies. On December 21 (winter solstice), the days start to get longer, with approximately 1-2 minutes of additional daylight gained per day. By June 21 (summer solstice), Victoria experiences its longest day of the year with the most 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.
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.
