As you go north - or south - of the equator, and closer to the poles, the days will become longer in summer, and shorter in winter. Also, the Sun will no longer go rise and set vertically, so before sunrise and after sunset there will be a longer time in which there is still some light.

What is daylight dependent on?
Daylight is greatly dependent on the sun. The number of daylight hours a city or country receives is dependent on its latitude.
What is the number of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere on the June solstice?
12 hours
How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.
What is the number of days summer daylight in svalbard?

What happens to the length of day (the number of hours of daylight) as you move south of the Equator?

When the sun is directallyoverthis the number of daylight hours equals the number of nittimehours all over the world?
The Equator
Are the number of daylight hours each day greatest by the North Pole or the equator?
There is a very minimal amount of daylight in the North Pole. By the equator, there is much more sunlight and a much more warmer climate.
What occurs when the sun is directly above the equator and the number of daylight and nighttime hours are nearly equal?
It is called an equinox.
In the Northern Hemisphere on the June solstice the number of daylight hours?
Increases from 12 hours at the equator to 24 hours at the Artic Circle.
Why would you expect the number of daylight hours at the equator to be about the same throughout the year?
No matter what direction the earth's rotational axis is pointing with respect to the sun, the sun is always shining on half of the equator.
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).
What is the term for the position the sun reaches when it is directly above the equator?
The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
How many km long is the equator?
it is 3,897,769,560.5647393748 ft around the earth According to WGS-84, IAU 1976 and 2000, the exact length of the equator to the nearest whole number is 24,901 miles, or 40075 kilometers.
What is daylight dependent on?
