No. Daylight hours are fewer in winter and more in summer, except in the tropics where the day is always the same length. However, all areas get the same "total" sunlight in a year, equal to 6 months of sunlight, so that every location will average out to 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. It is obvious from the Earth's spherical shape that 1/2 of the Earth must be illuminated at any given time.

Additionally, enclosed spaces such as caves may not receive any sunlight for extended periods of time.
