Amounts of daylight vary by latitude, so there is no single answer. After reviewing some data from Encarta based on the amount of sunlight on the 15th of each month, I have found there to be 4,518h 5m of daylight in a year along the 40 degree latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. This number is a rough estimate, but should provide some insight to your question.

Every day of the year the length of sunlight is different. In the winter there are less hours and in the summer there are more hours. Look up the sunrise/sunset tables on the internet for your area and you will see that it changes from day to day. In the Northern hemisphere the day with the least amount of sunlight is December 21st and the day with the longest duration of sunlight is June 21st.

This would be entirely dependent on your latitude; the higher the latitude, the longer the day.

If you're near the equator or in fairly low latitudes (25 degrees or less) then the day length isn't going to vary a whole lot no matter what the date. At mid-latitudes (30-60 degrees) the day length will increase with your latitude. Above 67 degrees latitude on the summer solstice, the Sun will not set at all; it will go all the way around the sky and come down to just touch the northern horizon, and then rise again.

There are 24 major deserts in the world and each one is at a different latitude. The amount of sunlight is dependent upon the season of the year as well as the latitude of the desert, Over a year's period a desert averages 12 hours of sun and 12 hours of dark per day.

Depends on the day, as each day's length is unique, if only by a few seconds.
