The number of days of daylight depend not only on the date, but also on your geogrpahical lotation, specifically your latitude.
At the equator (0 degrees latitude), there are approximately 12 hours of daylight year-round, as the equator receives 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness each day due to the Earth's tilt and rotation.
In the Tropical Zone, there are generally around 12 hours of daylight each day throughout the year due to its proximity to the equator. This consistent day length is a key characteristic of tropical regions.
Though you would expect twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night at the Equator, that is not the case. Because of atmospheric refraction and the size of the Sun, it actually exceeds 12 hours by about 7 minutes each day.
Were it not for Daylight Savings Time, New Zealand would be 17 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. But since these two cities are in opposite hemispheres (New York in the Northern Hemisphere, and New Zealand in the Southern) they have opposite seasons (when it's winter in New Zealand, it's summer in New York, and vice versa). Because they have opposite seasons, New Zealand is on Daylight Savings Time when the U.S. is not, and the U.S. is on Daylight Savings Time when New Zealand is not. There are only a few weeks in a year when both are on Daylight Savings or Standard Time (as New York begins Daylight Savings a few weeks before New Zealand ends Daylight Savings, and vice versa). So, during the middle of the year (approximately March/April through September/November), New Zealand is 16 hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time. During the rest of the year (approximately September/November to March/April) New Zealand is 18 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time. From late September (when New Zealand begins Daylight Savings) to early November (when New York ends Daylight Savings), and from mid-March (when Daylight Savings begins in New York) to early April (when it ends in New Zealand), New Zealand is 17 hours ahead of New York. Also, the Chatham Islands are 45 minutes ahead of mainland New Zealand. So, the Chatham Islands are 16 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Eastern Daylight Time, and 18 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Eastern Standard Time. So, in December, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it is 4 PM Monday in New York City. In July, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 6 PM Monday in New York City. From late September to early November, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 5 PM Monday in New York City. Also, from mid-March to early April, if it's 10 AM on a Tuesday in New Zealand, it's 5 PM Monday in New York City.
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.
Twenty-four hours of daylight.
Depends on your latitude.
No place on Earth has 12 hours of daylight each and every day. Or, for that matter, on the Moon either, or on any known body in the Solar System..
At the equator (0 degrees latitude), there are approximately 12 hours of daylight year-round, as the equator receives 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness each day due to the Earth's tilt and rotation.
the amount of sunlight each day is about 5.9 hours
There is one sunrise at the South Pole each year, which occurs about September 21. From then until about March 21, there are 24 hours of daylight every day until the sunsets. This is caused by the Earth's tilt of the Southern Hemisphere toward the Sun.
All places that are on the Equator have the least variation in the length of daylight hours.
The northern and southern hemispheres have equal hours of daylight and darkness during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year.
Zero. At the north pole, the sun sets around September 23, and it doesn't rise again until March 21.
At the equator, each day has approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness regardless of the specific longitude. The length of daylight hours stays relatively consistent due to the Earth's axial tilt and rotation.
24 hoursDifferent Answer:Between approximately April 18th and August 24th, there is continuous daylight in Longyearbyen, and between approximately October 26th and February 15th, there is constant darkness.The sun rises and sets each day between February 16th to April 17th, with daylight increasing from 0 hours to 24 hours and between August 25th to October 25th, with daylight decreasing from 24 hours to 0 hours.Between late October - mid November and between late January - mid February there is twilight in the southern sky at noon in Longyearbyen and around the equinoxes there are 12 hours of daylight, like the rest of the world.
