At the days and nights are each 12 hours long?
For two days a year only does everywhere on the planet receive 12hrs sun 12 hrs dark. Around March 22 and September 22 are the two equinoxes [Sun is dead set above the Equator] Then and only then.
How long is a day on the Equator?
At the time of the equinoxes (when the Sun is directly overhead at the equator) the Sun is up for 12 hours. This answer does not tell the whole story. The sun is always directly overhead at the equator. There is always 12 hours of daylight at the equator no matter what season. To a purist the sun is actually above the horizon for about 12 and half hours but only because of the atmosphere bending light rays. If the Earth had no atmosphere it would be just plain 12 hours and 12 hours.
One day is how many times as long as 12 hours?
One day = 24 hours That's twice as long as 12 hours.
When is the equator dark?
The equator experiences approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness throughout the year due to its position on the Earth's axis. This means the equator has days and nights of equal length.
what area of the world always has 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night time?
Along the equator every day of the year has 12.1 hours from sunrise to sunset and 11.9 hours from sunset to sunrise.
