Is it fact that the sun will shine 36 hours on17th Oct2010?

No, it is not a fact that the sun will shine for 36 hours on the 17th of October 2010. The amount of sunlight a particular location receives in a day is determined by the Earth's rotation and the time of year, and it is not possible for the sun to shine for 36 continuous hours in a single day.

Why earth has night and day?

Earth has day and nights because the sun can only shine on one part of the Earth at a time, resulting in one half of the Earth in darkness, and one half of the Earth with light. The days and nights last only 12 hours because the Earth rotates around the sun once every 24 hours. Half of the time, the sun will shine an a particular spot on the Earth, the other half of the time, the sun will not shine causing darkness.


How long does the sun shine on a clear day?

Between 0 and 24 hours per day. That depends on where you are and when you do your measurement.
